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.
