Group, David <a href="http://www.bluemassgroup.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=11036">points out</a> a similar "huh?" in <a href="http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2008/03/20/track_owner_fights_ban_on_racing/">a Globe story</a> that quotes the owner of the Raynham dog track as saying a ban on dog racing would cost 6,000 to 8,000 jobs at the state's two dog tracks. In January, the Globe <a href="http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2008/01/13/race_to_the_ballot/?page=full">reported</a> Raynham only employs 350 people. As David notes, it seems unlikely that the smaller Wonderland track employs several thousand more people.</p> http://www.universalhub.com/node/13545#comments Media Politics 2008 elections ballot questions Boston Globe dog racing Thu, 20 Mar 2008 14:16:47 -0400 adamg 13545 at http://www.universalhub.com
