Wants Slot Machines
George
Carney wants slot machines at Raynham
Park. He is willing to fight tooth and
nail to get the slot machines, and has
been doing pretty much just that. He has
set his sites on getting them to
increase the revenue at his track, and
thinks that he stands a pretty good
chance at getting them.
Year after year Carney says that he
watches the revenue at his track drop,
and says that without slot machines he
is not sure how much longer he will be
able to compete with those that already
have them. He says that the slot
machines bring in business, and allows
him to increase his purses. Higher
purses mean better horses and better
races – which in turn lead to more
money. It is a circle that he wants to
be a part of.
He also points out that the slot machine
will enable him to keep on the hundreds
of jobs that would have to be eliminated
if the slot machines do not come in.
This would lead to families in trouble
and then dependent on the state for help
– leading to a bad situation there as
well.
He says that he has been trying for
years to get slot machines, but now he
finally has a friendly face. Rep. David
Flynn also wants to see slot machines
brought in. he says that he thinks that
third time is the charm and that they
are going to be successful in getting
them this time around. He says that the
state needs the money that the slot
machines would bring in, as does the
track.
