Summary of the State's Compact with Tribe
FGA LEGISLATIVE UPDATE 2007 Legislative Session Ends: the 2007 Legislative Session ended Friday, May 4, 2007. The FGA'd lobbying team has issued Legislative Update #9 giving you a blow by blow accounting of the final hours. Most of you know what the tracks tried to pull on all the small tracks in Florida. If successful, these tracks would have been out of business. The tracks refused to include the FGA's language to protect ALL greyhound people in Florida. Read the Update for the course of action we were forced into taking. No BILL passed!
