A proposal to allow electronic slot machines at Minnesota race tracks is pitting horse racing against indian owned casinos. State Senator David Senjem's bill would use the state's portion of the revenue from the gambling to pay back money borrowed from schools. Supporters say the horse racing industry needs it to survive. Opponents including the Family Counsel say expanded gambling creates more addicts.
