Pulaski Voters to Decide on Gaming Tax Revenue Measure
What happened
Voters in Pulaski will decide next Tuesday whether to allow pari-mutuel wagering, a measure backed by Commonwealth Wins. If approved, the measure would allow Rosie’s Gaming Emporium to open in the town. Supporters estimate the new facility could generate up to $2 million per year in local tax revenue.

Why it matters
The measure aims to generate local tax revenue to support Pulaski’s finances and infrastructure. Proponents point to a similar facility in Vinton, which generated significant tax revenue used for repaving over 80% of roads and improving flood control.
