FORT PIERRE, (KCCR) –A bill to help support a weekend of horse racing this fall in Fort Pierre continues to gain positive support in the South Dakota Legislature. House Bill 1057 would shift 60-thousand dollars from the South Dakota bred racing fund to the special racing revolving fund. District 24 Representative Mike Weisgram of Fort Pierre says the fund was designed to showcase South Dakota racing horses and as an economic driver….
H-B 1057 needed a two-thirds majority vote to pass due to the transferring of funds. It got more than that, passing 69-to-zero. The measure next moves to the South Dakota Senate.
