My memory is very hazy, but I think that was tied with them trying to get a casino license when Ontario was thinking about expanding the number of casinos.
I think you are correct.  What really should have happened was Bingemans should have gotten the raceway/ casino when it moved out of Elmira. I am not a gambler and I know there are some serious negative issues that come with a casino, but losing that raceway to Elora cost the Region a lot of money.
