Saying it “hide(s) the ball” and calling it “outright ‘trickeration,’ ” a Tallahassee judge has ruled that a proposed constitutional amendment aimed at ending dog racing shouldn’t go on the November ballot.
But in a statement, Attorney General Pam Bondi – who supports a dog-racing ban – said her office “will appeal this decision immediately and seek an expedited review by the Florida Supreme Court.” Time is of the essence; Election Day is 97 days away as of Wednesday.
Among other things, Circuit Judge Karen Gievers‘ 27-page order (also posted below) said Amendment 13‘s ballot title and summary would mislead voters into believing a ‘yes’ vote was an outright ban on greyhound racing.
The amendment bans betting on live dog racing in Florida, and doesn’t make clear that trackgoers in Florida could still bet on ‘simulcast‘ dog races outside Florida, she said. Live racing is still conducted at 11 tracks in the state.
It also doesn’t make clear, Gievers added, that a vote for the amendment is a vote for other gambling – such as card games and slot machines – to continue at tracks that have them.
Gievers said the amendment title and summary were “clearly and conclusively defective,” a legal standard developed by the Supreme Court to justify keeping proposed amendments off the ballot.
Specifically, a ballot summary is defective if it “fails to specify exactly what was being changed, thereby confusing voters” or “gives the appearance of creating new rights or protections, when the actual effect is to reduce or eliminate rights or protections already in existence,” the court has said.
Amendment 13 doesn’t provide voters with the “ ’truth in packaging’ to which they are entitled,” she wrote.
The measure was slated for the November ballot by the Constitution Revision Commission (CRC). Amendments need no less than 60 percent approval to be added to the state constitution.
The Florida Greyhound Association, which represents breeders and owners who oppose Amendment 13, had sued to prevent it from appearing on the statewide ballot. A final hearing was held last Thursday.
“Judge Gievers was very thorough in her ruling,” said Jack Cory, lobbyist and spokesman for the association.
She had, for instance, said the ballot title and summary don’t disclose that “humane treatment of animals would become a fundamental value of the people of Florida,” agreeing with arguments made by the association’s lawyer, Major B. Harding, a retired Florida Supreme Court justice.
“The state of Florida should not use taxpayer dollars to appeal this case,” Cory added. “The proponents got a donation of $1.5 million last week,” referring to a large donation from the Doris Day Animal League. “If (they) want to appeal the ruling, they should use their own money, not (that of) taxpayers.”
The Protect Dogs–Yes on 13 campaign, which formed to push for the amendment’s passage, said the legal challenge isn’t over.
“This is a process that will end with a decision by the Florida Supreme Court,” the campaign said in a statement, echoing Bondi. “This is the first step on a long road, and we are confident that the Supreme Court will uphold the amendment.”
The campaign further called the suit “a desperate attempt to prevent voters from having a voice on whether greyhound confinement and deaths should continue. It was filed because greyhound breeders know that when Amendment 13 appears on the ballot, Floridians will vote ‘yes’ for the dogs.”
The ban was one of eight amendments OK’d by the CRC; 13 amendments in all had been set for the ballot. Amendment 13 is the first to be struck down out of the four CRC measures that have been challenged in court.

Trickeration..WHAT? Judge uses urban slang in court ruling?
A fictitious word commonly used by football announcers
(and a Fl judge) to make themselves feel intelligent.
I guess it goes with the illeterates and low life’s that enjoy making money off the dogs, instead of allowing the dogs to live a cage free, injury free, euthanasia free, torture free life. What respectable, educated person still goes to the dog tracks?
can't make this up

Good points…wish she knew something about greyhound racing. I have been on the adoption side for 17 years. The dogs love to race and they love their crates. Most owners love their dogs and take good care of them. We in adoption get the benefit by receiving retired racers to have as pets. The breeders have made the greyhound the best it can be and brought the breed to its pinnacle.

The words like trickeration, and misleading will be re-said all over the news outlets tonight. Can’t buy that advertising.

Pass this on to everyone and not vote for any politicians involved in the misleading trickeration.

Yet what we say about your crooked organization was proven in COURT, ” crafted to mislead voters” , ” outright trickeration”, in other words, LIE, like we have said all along. Funny how the court always sides with us, such as throwing out tainted drug tests. No, you won’t give, too much money out there to scam from fools, but the justice yesterday makes it highly unlikely 60% could ever be achieved. OUTRIGHT TRICKERATION :)))))
Fred Barton
August 2, 2018 at 10:21 am
Craig, Grey2K didn’t write the proposal. It was written with input from a whole bunch of people. The judge said what judges have to say to justify their opinions. Basically she accepted what the FGA lawyers said.
Craig Laginess
August 2, 2018 at 10:38 am
Fred, I never said that Grey2k wrote the proposed amendment. It was written by Tom Lee, who is influenced by the gaming companies, Grey2k and the HSUS. It’s sad that the CRC had an agenda without thorough consideration for the constitution. It’s pretty sad when half of the proposed amendments are being challenged in court.
Fred Barton
August 2, 2018 at 11:20 am
I don’t know as I’d call it sad as much as typical. This is how democracies work, Craig. One side does something the other side doesn’t like, so they set out to use the system to stop them. Since the governor can’t decree and end, or eternal protection for greyhound racing that leaves the legislative and judicial branches. We won the legislative battle and got the measure on the ballot, now the fight has moved, quite naturally, to the judicial where you won the first round.
If we win the judicial battle and the ballot goes before the people, we’ll fight it out in the court of public opinion. If we lose, it’s back to the drawing board to prepare for 2020. Like I said, the neat thing about democracy is it’s never over.
Andy
August 2, 2018 at 10:43 am
She accepted what the esteemed FGA lawyers had to say because they were exactly on point, the amendment is a sham written by ” a whole lot of people “, including grey2k and similiar ilk with a history of fraud and deception. No doubt you will try again, yet your credibility is even worse now than before, if that’s possible. No doubt Bondi and Lee are wishing they had never got in bed with such fraudsters.
Fred Barton
August 2, 2018 at 11:24 am
It always amuses me that the side one agrees with is esteemed, while the other is a pack of scoundrels. But what did you expect the judge to say Andy? That’s her job. Two sides in a dispute come before her and present their cases and she decides which side better fits her interpretation of the law. Did you think she would come up with her own reasons?
Andy
August 2, 2018 at 11:53 am
The spin doctor is justified for you, the whole sham is a fraud. 1. You did not get it on there by the legislative process, it was put there by the crooked CRC. 2. The judge correctly concluded the sham was crooked and dishonest, which is what your scam group excels in, again ” outright trickerzation” , ” crafted to mislead voters” Spin it any way you like, the fact of the matter is a crooked amendment was attempted to be shoved down our throats by crooked politicians and the judge saw right through it. Like Cory said ” you can lie to the CRC but you can’t lie to the court” Scoundrels? That is too polite of a term for a group with such a documented record of fraud and deceit. For example, Stiel says on your website ” we have the support of Doris Day”, leaving out the fact that it’s the Doris Day animal league or whatever that is owned/operated by ….. SURPRISE…. HSUS, your partners in crime. No one on our side is aligned with a terrorist organization like ALF.
Fred Barton
August 2, 2018 at 2:08 pm
The CRC is part of the legislative branch because they’re involved in making laws. Get it? If Prop 13 passes it will be the law. See how that works? The judge sided with the FGA and thus accepted their arguments. That’s what judges do. Nobody lied to the court. That’s called perjury and if the judge had felt someone was lying, that person would be in jail right now. The issue is whose interpretation of the statute is correct and right now the courts say yours is.

So I have to ask a question and I am sure some of you will unload on me and start the bashing like you normally do.
You have dozens of adoption agencies that back the pro racing groups. Some of these I get regular requests to donate money to in an effort to fix injuries and get the pups ready for adoption.
Why are the kennels and the owners not responsible for that?
Where is the FGA, NGA and the track operators at in fully funding injuries?
Why does the industry believe that the general public is responsible for funding vet costs and other costs to support injuries?
Isn’t it time that the industry step up to the plate and resolve this issue that continues to give us a black eye?
I am in the industry so you can save the usual rhetoric you generally use on this forum and actually spend some time and provide a fact based answer.
Renee Leslie
August 1, 2018 at 9:14 pm
I don’t normally reply to people who hide behind anonymity but I’ll make an rare exception in your case. IF indeed you are “in the industry” as you claim, you would know the answers to your own questions. Therefore, I suspect you are not you who claim to be. If I am mistaken, then you only need to identify yourself and your place “in the industry” so we can inform your naïveté.
UTT
August 1, 2018 at 10:26 pm
Exactly what I expected, no replies and no facts to back up a simple question. Why are the owners, kennels and track operators not funding full costs of all injuries until the dog is adopted out? I fully fund all of my adoptions, always have and always will. If you cannot pay to fix your greyhound after injury you have no right at all to be in this industry. You are a disgrace and there are others like myself that agree 100%, until folks step up to the plate and fix what is broken then everyone in a Florida and the other states that have racing will be fighting this battle forever.
Btw, I remain anonymous as I am actively working with a lawyer and publicist to tell our story and back it up with facts. We plan on sending our media packet to every outlet we can. If we only get one hit then we have succeeded in telling a fact based historical story that everyone in Florida can use to make an informed decision today, next year, ten years from now.
Pam Monigold
August 2, 2018 at 11:09 pm
I am in the industry also and I agree people should be held accountable for the welfare of their dogs until adoption!

It has been like that for years and it will never change until it is all new people in this industry at the top who make the rules.

michael
August 2, 2018 at 6:20 pm
Having a degree and common sense are two different things. Only people with no common sense will do something over and over knowing the outcome is that the house always wins in the end (sometimes sooner more than often than later) and continues to pay to take a financial beating.
The casino’s and tracks are only befriending you until your money runs out. They don’t care about you. The owners would never come to your home and share 5 minutes with you or your family even though you (maybe not you personally) have been loyal to visit their property on a regular basis and probably given them hundreds of thousands of dollars. Some people give multi millions every weekend. All of the tracks are pure dumps anyway. Old dirty tracks, bleachers, outdated building features, crappy food outlets, (mostlocations) no other major entertainment for your enjoyment like concerts and such.
Only the degenerate or the emotionally lonely continues to frequent these venues of despair in hope to find something that never comes.
Good Luck Craig. You have a good mind to achieve a Masters. Use it wisely, wake up your common sense.

August 2, 2018 at 5:55 pm
Your side didn’t win anything. All you got was a motion approved for dismissal of the document. In no way shape or form does it mean that the aggressor in the matter can’t propose a new set of documents at a later date for the ballot. Even if it doesn’t make it this year it is only a few months away from another Legislative session to get approval for it to get on the ballot for 2019. This not a trial where once proven not guilty that’s all there is to never be heard again in court. We can keep going at the proposed amendment over and over year after year. At some point your side has to pony up money for legal fees. We have great financial donors. All of your endorsers(the last 60) are rescue facilities who probably don’t have cash flow to sustain multiple donation to the cause since they probably run on donation themselves. Plus the tracks want decoupling and will get it one way or another.

I will attempt to explain this to your limited intelligence one more time. Passage of amendment 3 is going to mean there will BE NO CHANGE IN FLORIDA GAMING UNLESS APPROVED BY THE VOTERS IN A STATEWIDE VOTE. The legislature will be able to do NOTHING. I know that might be hard for you to grasp, but it really is not complicated. In 2 years your hero scammers might get it put on the ballot by petition drive like Amendment 3 is this time, but never will you get 60%, not after this strong ruling. As of now it is back on the ballot because the appeal got you a stay for now, but it will not last. Hopefully you can understand this simplification. Oh, and it’s YOUR side that must pay OUR legal fees sport, after your side lost.
michael
August 2, 2018 at 10:42 pm
Wow that was a mouth full of nothing new about amendment 3. Nothing can go to the ballot unless it goes before the legislature first. Who do you think pushes it forward, the voters??? 60% is an easy mark. The whole upper part of the state is bible belt which opposes gambling forever. The only reason we have full gaming in south florida is the state changed the voting rules one year. Knowing they couldnt get a state wide vote, since maybe 1978 or before, but the lower 3 counties, broward, miami-dade and palm beach always voted yes every year. So they changed it to vote by county so it would pass. Since we know that 90% of the state opposes gaming we have a real good shot at passing 13 when it come to fruition.

The first definition came from Urban Dictionary
This one comes from The Rice University Neologisms Database
TRICKERATION
noun; derivation
The process of using tricks, particularly trick plays in a sport Possible reason used: The announcer might have chosen trickeration over trick or trick play, because it sounds more devious, or simply because it sounds funnier. Apparent meaning: The use of trick plays in football. The –ATION is a noun-forming suffix. The problem is that TRICK is already a noun, so trickation sounds wrong. The speaker solves this problem by inserting a syllable, ER, which here has little meaning, but makes it sound like more of a word. As with strategery, another noun formed from a noun root, trickeration has a slightly different meaning from its root. The endings somehow make the process sound cleverer and more devious.
Merriam – Webster doesnt even include in their listings

He has already demonstrated his lack of knowledge concerning florida gaming, the law, and now Doris Day. It’s hilarious he speaks of ” degenerate gamblers” yet runs a sleazy strip joint. The height of irony. He has also said he has always been his own boss, then said he used to work For Trump and other casinos. Just another loud mouth loser.

who cares where the money comes from? I don’t. I worked for the casino’s and had my businesses all along. I make money where ever someone idiot wants to throw it away. They want to hand it over to me, I’ll take it. You might think that working all your life and making a buck makes a person a liar. You don’t even have 1 job.. I’ve always worked two to get ahead. When your a supervisor at a casino you can’t walk from that bankroll. Since those jobs have no pension you have to provide your own. Hence building another business or two… You know jack about nothing. You think your the man with all the answers. While your still trying to make ends meet at the track I’ll be living quite easy which I do already. The cash flow is excellent in the entertainment biz. I really do have a good life. Pretty much care free.
You think you know everything even when I show you clearly you dont. Your the amazing wizard of nothing.. I bet your biggest accomplishment in life is getting to the track at first post to throw your money away.

Well, let’s see, I know 1. The seminoles true role in the Amendments and gaming law. 2. That proper role the legislature plays in the governing process. 3. How a citizen petition drive works. 4. The difference between your and you’re. That’s 4 things I know that you are totally clueless on, until I educated you, that is, you”re welcome 🙂

Michael, you aren’t slow, but you are close minded and gullible buying the Grey2k and HSUS lies. If you are such a hard working individual Google both organizations and you will see what we have been saying about them. Grey2k’s founder Christine Dorchak, has been sued for her lies and less than one percent of Grey2k’s donations goes towards the welfare of the greyhounds. The HSUS is under fire for it’s ties to terrorists organizations and they put down more healthy dogs in one day than the number of deaths at greyhound tracks over the last five years. The numbers don’t lie.

Hummm, seems like the Judge didn’t have a problem with the jest of the proposed amendment, only the wording.
I’ll bet we see this same proposal again in the future only with more precise wording, to the point, wording.
I will vote ‘YES’.

20 years in the future maybe, vote however you like then. The fact is the sham is based on deception and lies, and the judge, as the appellate court no doubt will, saw right through it, ‘ crafted to mislead” EXACTLY

ANDY THIS IS YOUR MOTHER. I want you to stop trying to make yourself look like an intelligent man. We all know that you wore a football helmet and crapped in your pants until you were 40 yrs old. And keep your hands out of your pants, people are starting to talk again.
Your Mother…
