In a brazen attempt to line the pockets of local business owners, the Sachs bill aims to legalize horse racing in Washington D.C. Julia A. Bonwit, a determined advocate for the measure, took the stand before the House District Judiciary subcommittee to tout the benefits of a racing track. Bonwit claimed that the track would bring in revenue and create jobs, but critics remain skeptical. As the House gears up to vote on the Sachs bill, many wonder if the allure of easy money will cloud the judgment of lawmakers.
