Denver November 2003 Election

One of the dog tracks that will benefit from Amendment 33 is Cloverleaf Greyhound Park in Loveland, according to the Rocky Mountain News [October 16, 2003, "Measure may alleviate track's dog days"]. It's not part of the Wembley organization but is family owned and struggling. From the article, "Becky Bever is beleaguered. She walked into the eye of a storm when she threw her support behind Amendment 33, a measure on the Nov. 4 ballot that would put video lottery terminals in existing dog and horse tracks."

The Denver Post [October 16, 2003, "Mud flies on gaming issue"] is running a story about the attack ads now running from both sides over Amendment 33. From the article, "The slick, multimillion-dollar battle over video slot machines has turned into an all-out dogfight played out in prime time. With $7.7 million collected so far by both sides of Amendment 33 - the most ever on any Colorado ballot issue - the advocates' soft-sell approach has hardened to match the attacks of opponents. Call us liars, we'll call you greedy. That's the new punch starting to air from Support Colorado's Economy and Environment, the group that started its pro-Amendment 33 campaign with footage of a river and talk of tourism."
