A related update to the lottery subsidies potentially being cut. If passed, some industry officials for greyhound racing state that it could lead to the end of greyhound racing in WV. I am all for that industry going away. Over the last 20 years or so, many greyhound tracks have closed all over the country. The industry is on life support and maybe its time to pull the plug.

I'm fine with it as long as taxpayers aren't subsidizing it. If they can make a go of it, great. If not, not.
No wonder why my home state Mississippi isn't #50 in every category like it used to be. I am seeing more of that for West Virginia lately.
There is a saying in Mississippi "At least, we are not West Virginia." Arkansas has exactly the same saying about Mississippi. LOL
Honestly, poorest American states tend to get blown out of porportion by the media and statistics because it's still nothing like third world countries no matter what.
West Virginia is beautiful. I was born and raised in MS so I enjoyed my time there. I'm currently living in Little Rock, AR and I love it!
I just don't see the Greyhounds going away while Tomblin is in office. His family has a major hand in the racing industry in WV.
Exactly right, as well as a vested interest in maintaining the bloated and redundant Community College bureaucracy in Charleston due to his wife's involvement there.
Update on the proposed lottery cuts. The bill has passed the House and is now going to the Senate for that vote.
