MASSACHUSETTS LEGISLATOR GOES AFTER ONLINE GAMBLING

"It's running rampant...."

Media reports from New England this week indicate that online gambling faces another politician intent on stopping the industry's continuing expansion in order to protect traditional horse racing.

Massachusetts State Representative David Flynn (D-Bridgewater) says he wants to ban online gambling, but according to state Attorney General Tom Reilly there is no state law banning online gambling and the issue remains a gray area.

"It's running rampant right now and it's hurting us,'' said Flynn, revealing that he plans to seek an outright ban on online betting in the Bay State.

"I think we've been very lax as far as protecting this (horse racing) industry that employs more than 6,000 people. We're really promoting the death knell for racing and that's sad.''

Flynn was speaking in response to the fact that online race books had taken away a substantial amount of business from the state tracks with their 10 percent to 15 percent rebate programs, and the convenience of betting online.
