Some people learn quicker from experience than others. For example, a foolish child generally learns very quickly not to play with fire.
Then there’s the Texas Racing Commission, which would have disfiguring burns over three-quarters of its body before deciding Hey, maybe the bright red thing doesn’t want to be my friend!
But this week, commissioners finally seem to have gotten the message:
“The Texas Racing Commission voted Thursday to repeal its endorsement of historical racing terminals, the controversial machines that led to a fierce political fight with prominent state legislators. The 5-4 vote ends a more than year of fighting over who has the authority to authorize dog tracks to add new gaming machines.”
How eminently reasonable of the Commission to decide that, in fact, state law does indeed apply to them after all…
