In one of his final actions as Senate Majority Floor Leader, Damon Thayer attained voice-vote support for a resolution pertaining to the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority. It’s HISA that oversees national integrity and safety rules for Thoroughbred racing. Thayer’s resolution calls on Congress to pay all of HISA-related costs.
“But, it always comes back to the states paying for federal regulation. I think that’s wrong. And this resolution will go to every member of our congressional delegation, urging them for federal funding for HISA. They should put it in the federal budget,” said Thayer.
