North Dakota State Racing Commission Could Be Headed For Doom

North Dakota lawmakers feel they have seen enough of the problems that are taking place within the state Racing Commission. They have issued a threat to clean up their act, or risk being abolished.

There has been much fighting going on between the state's horsemen, the Commission's director, and its commissioners. Enough fighting, in fact, that lawmakers are threatening to put an end to the Commission for good.

"The situation isn't working. I just think, where else can you go except start over with a clean slate," said Representative Shirley Meyer. She echoed the thoughts of many of the representatives.

If the legislation is drawn up, the burden of the work that the Commission was responsible for would be divided between the Attorney General, and the state Agriculture Department.

The Bill would not be introduced until 2009, but representatives gave a stern warning to the Commission ,"to get it together, or it's over," said Rep. Jon Nelson.
