>Bill would allow restaurants to add horse racing bets to the menu

State Senate and Assembly committees on Thursday will consider legislation (S3115/A4285) that would create a pilot program in the state’s northern counties and part of Ocean County, in which electronic wagering terminals could be placed where food and alcohol is served. (Jordan, Gannett)
