I’ve been lobbied at the race track before.

This time, however, it was about the slots bill, not a “can’t miss” horse running in the next race.

I had already made my wagers on the 10th race Saturday when I had a brief conversation with a representative of the horse breeders.

The lobbying continued this afternoon.

I met with two registered lobbyists for different players in the racing industry one after the other.

1 and 1A, I called them.

No action has been taken on one of my bills.

I asked the lobbyist for the Cabinet department that supports my legislation if his Secretary could call the committee chair on behalf of my legislation.

“Will do,” was the reply. “We also have bills in that committee.”
