So sick. It was amazing to hear this supposedly passionate anti-online gambling zealot at the hearing so casually defend betting on horses. It would be interesting to see if he is one of the top receivers of horce racing lobbying money. Also if they lobby him for local issues or if it's mainly for the carve out that he gave them.
