REVERE - She admits it is a long shot, but state Rep. Kathi-Anne Reinstein is exploring the possibility of asking fellow legislators to overturn last week's referendum vote closing dog tracks in 2010.
"I will file a petition if I can. We are looking into how to go about reversing it," Reinstein said.
Ban proponents labeled their victory "a clear message that we will not tolerate an industry that causes thousands of dogs to endure lives of terrible confinement."
Reinstein sides with workers and kennel owners who called proponents' mistreatment claims exaggerated. She contrasted the dog ban to a marijuana decriminalization referendum voters also approved.
"It's tragic that it is OK to smoke pot but not OK to make an honest day's living."
