State's purchase of Pimlico stalling in the gate

A bill to allow the purchase of Pimlico race course and $400 million in investment sits in the Senate, with an uncertain future. "We have to have some real negotiations and conversations about whether or not the bill as it's come across, is in the best interest of the industry and the community surrounding the tracks and the communities that would be losing the tracks," said ​Senate President Bill Ferguson. The legislation approves a purchase of the racing facility for just $1.
