A Bill for the Dogs

By Dan Gorenstein on Friday, March 9, 2007.

Lawmakers will hold a hearing Monday on a proposal to ban dog racing in the state.

Tension is running high on both sides.

Supporters say the greyhounds live in poor conditions and are exposed to brutal injuries for nothing more than sport.

The race tracks strongly deny that claim.

Opponents warn that the measure threatens state revenue and over 150 full-time jobs.
