The Casino changed hands recently to a holding company operated by two trust fund managers in Nevada.

To my knowledge the only registration change that could result in going from 55.20 upward would be change in gross weight (questionable) at the town clerk's office.

The State has several outward transfers of DoT monies that would come before the repeal of any funding to F&G/BoT or Marine Patrol. One such example is NRTP, which is federal funds allocated to NH under a broad formula as part of the federal transportation funds. Those funds must be transferred to the BoT by the NH Legislature under it budget bills.
They have been questioned in the past as the federal government has the constitutional authority to ''establish post roads'', but since no mail (post) travels over the trails... the question has remained at both the federal and State levels. The NRTP is used for several purposes... the most noted is grooming trails. Due to weather patterns and specifics of the contract timelines... these funds may go unused.
Partially agree. Yes , still open, but when the gambling winnings tax went in, they lost a lot of business and laid off many employees as the wire business went elsewhere. Same thing at Hinsdale. Animal protection lobbyists also had a lot to do with shutting down dog racing. As we saw with the gambling winnings tax and the doubling of registration fees some years ago, the legislature in NH can do foolish and unpredictable things.
