federal budget by 2 trillion dollars.

And Kentucky news Churchill Downs Incorporated is suing to stop what it's calling a threat of being shut down.

The company joined the New York Racing Association and filing a federal lawsuit in western Kentucky earlier this week.

Both groups claim the horse racing integrity and safety authority or High-A illegally and on fairly changed its fee structure.

According to the lawsuit, Churchill, it says it's now being asked to pay nearly 2 million dollars or risk having to stop racing at both Churchill and Alice Park, which is in Henderson County.

Hi says the federal agency that oversees horse racing state.

Senator Damon Thayer, a horse racing enthusiast who has worked in the horse racing industry, fully supports Churchill Downs and the New York Racing Association suing.

Hi, Sir.

>> But first, I want to say that I I share the goal of hi, sir, to have standardize rules across multiple state jurisdictions.

13 years ago, I passed the bill in Kentucky to a lock cost to participate in an interstate compact with other states or we could implement those uniform rules.

Unfortunately, no other state that took me up on my offer.

And now we have the federal government overseeing horse racing, which I'm not particularly thrilled with that to be.

To be fair, it's the only thing I really strongly disagree with Leader McConnell and Congressman Barr.

>> On the arm, you don't agree with there being a high, sir?

I don't.

Why?

Well, not under its current form.

The Imitation.

>> The implementation is on even it ignores due process.

They have no transparency on their budget.

And as we find they're asking states and racetracks to continue to pay for their operations.

Some 80 million dollars a year with no transparency on how it's funded on my last day in the Senate on the floor, the Kentucky Senate adopted a resolution that says hi, so should be paid for by the federal government.

High say is going to be forced upon us by the federal government.

The federal government should pay for it.

It should not be the responsibility of the states because that is going to mean racetracks.

Horsemen owners, trainers, jockeys and the racing fans who make the whole engine go.

They're going to end up paying for.

Hi, sir, with increased fees or deductions from purses.

And I I fully support Churchill Downs and the New York Racing Association sewing.

Hi, Sir.

I think we need to bring this thing to a head and I think it's very likely that the Supreme Court of the United States is going to take up the constitutionality of FISA in the next 12 to 18 months.

And if it does, I think there's a 50 to 60% chance that they find.

Part of it unconstitutional, which will then force everyone to the table to try to come up with a better way to do this.

>> In June, though, the U.S. Supreme Court chose not to take up a case challenging the agency's constitutionality.
