RACE COURSE SITE. HOW COULD 

02:06.866 --> 02:10.633 align:start position:10% line:68.67% size:52.5%
THAT HELP THE BEARS? 

02:07.833 --> 02:12.500 align:start position:10% line:68.67% size:75%
>> WE KEPT THE FOUNDATION OF  

02:10.633 --> 02:14.833 align:start position:10% line:68.67% size:80%
THE ORIGINAL BILL. BUT WE ADDED 

02:12.500 --> 02:18.566 align:start position:10% line:68.67% size:77.5%

MADE ANY RESPONSE FROM THEM? 

02:51.433 --> 02:54.100 align:start position:10% line:68.67% size:67.5%

ABOUT THE $3 PER HEAD TAX. I  

03:04.000 --> 03:09.600 align:start position:10% line:68.67% size:80%
SAID IT WILL NOT COST THE BEAR, 

03:07.533 --> 03:12.100 align:start position:10% line:68.67% size:75%
ANYTHING. TICKETS RANGE FROM  

03:09.600 --> 03:15.066 align:start position:10% line:68.67% size:80%
200 TO $600. THE HEAD TAX WON'T 

03:12.100 --> 03:16.066 align:start position:10% line:68.67% size:75%
AFFECT THEM AT ALL AND SALES  

03:15.066 --> 03:18.700 align:start position:10% line:68.67% size:72.5%
TAX FROM LIQUOR. THEY HAD A

SALES ON ANY KIND OF ITEMS. THE 

03:18.700 --> 03:23.866 align:start position:10% line:68.67% size:80%
SALES TAX WOULD GO INTO A FUND  

03:22.400 --> 03:24.666 align:start position:10% line:68.67% size:72.5%
THAT WOULD HELP SURROUNDING  

03:23.866 --> 03:28.133 align:start position:10% line:68.67% size:80%
COMMUNITIES WITH INFRASTRUCTURE 

03:24.666 --> 03:30.066 align:start position:10% line:68.67% size:80%

03:39.366 --> 03:41.666 align:start position:10% line:68.67% size:77.5%
INFRASTRUCTURE? WOULD THAT BE  

03:40.966 --> 03:42.800 align:start position:10% line:68.67% size:35%
ON THIS BILL? 

03:41.666 --> 03:44.366 align:start position:10% line:68.67% size:75%

FOUNDATION OF THE ORIGINAL BILL 

03:44.366 --> 03:46.933 align:start position:10% line:68.67% size:75%

03:45.600 --> 03:48.333 align:start position:10% line:68.67% size:80%
AND INCENTIVES TO GET TO 60. I  

03:46.933 --> 03:48.666 align:start position:10% line:68.67% size:65%
NEED 60 VOTES TO GET THIS 

03:48.333 --> 03:50.233 align:start position:10% line:68.67% size:20%
PASSED. 

03:48.666 --> 03:54.633 align:start position:10% line:68.67% size:80%

03:50.233 --> 03:55.200 align:start position:10% line:68.67% size:77.5%
BUILD ROADS ON THIS SITE. AND  

03:54.633 --> 03:55.966 align:start position:10% line:68.67% size:55%
BASIC INFRASTRUCTURE. 

03:55.200 --> 03:56.266 align:start position:10% line:68.67% size:77.5%

ANYWHERE. 

04:02.166 --> 04:06.133 align:start position:10% line:68.67% size:80%
>> IT WAS DEAD IN THE WATER AND 

04:04.166 --> 04:07.233 align:start position:10% line:68.67% size:75%
THE TWO SPONSORS ADMITTED. I  

04:06.133 --> 04:08.633 align:start position:10% line:68.67% size:77.5%
THINK WE HAVE HAD A REAL GOOD  

04:07.233 --> 04:09.400 align:start position:10% line:68.67% size:70%
CHANCE BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN  

04:08.633 --> 04:11.300 align:start position:10% line:68.67% size:77.5%

04:09.400 --> 04:12.533 align:start position:10% line:68.67% size:70%
THEY ARE EXCITED ABOUT THE

CHANGES WE HAVE MADE AND THE  

04:12.533 --> 04:15.266 align:start position:10% line:68.67% size:75%
CHANCE TO GET SOMETHING DONE. 

04:14.033 --> 04:16.266 align:start position:10% line:68.67% size:52.5%
REMEMBER, THIS IS A

MULTIBILLION DOLLAR PROJECT. IT 

04:16.266 --> 04:21.500 align:start position:10% line:68.67% size:67.5%
