Among others, Millennium Gaming and Rockingham Park co-owner Bill Wortman presented expanded gambling proposals to the governor's Gaming Study Commission yesterday in New Hampshire.

Wortman's plan includes a $450 million, two-phase renovation to Rockingham Park, which would include up to 5,000 slot machines, a return to thoroughbred horse racing, and generate more than 2,000 jobs in the area.
