KEEP: A Legislative Fix For HHR Is About Keeping The Status Quo, Not Expanding Gaming Sponsored by:
The Kentucky Equine Education Project (KEEP), Kentucky s equine economic advocate, released the following statement on the importance of legislation to maintain historical horse racing in Kentucky on Tuesday:
Kentucky s signature equine industry has a simple request for state legislators in 2021: maintain the status quo and protect local jobs and investment by allowing historical horse racing to continue in Kentucky. Inaction would cost us thousands of jobs, millions in tax revenue and significant economic development opportunities at a time when they are needed most. The longer-term impact to Kentucky s world-renowned horse racing industry, including the breeding, farming, training, tourism and other sectors it supports, is of even greater concern.
