Mike, this comment reminded me of something my departed dad used to tell me. After he retired from the Postal Service, he worked for the KY Depeart of Transportation. He specifically worked on the Toll roads. He told me he once got a look at the operational budget and was assounded to learn that KY paid out $1 for every 50¢ the took in.

So how did your remark remind me of this? I was considering the statement that IN wanted to recoup their cost of tournaments, you mention relatively new regulation of the tournaments. Sounds like the department is now trying to find a way to pay for the department that is regulating the tournaments.

Is that so?
