Jeffrey Smith/Staff Photographer Coleman resident Kevin Long watches and bets on live races around the country Saturday afternoon at Mount Pleasant Meadows, 500 N. Mission Road. House Bill 5536 was pocket-vetoed by Gov. Rick Snyder, which would have allowed racing machines at venues such as Mount Pleasant Meadows. "I wouldn't use the machines, but it might help attract a younger crowd," Long said. "Anything would be beneficial... there's a lot of jobs tied in here."
