A Raton company has filed a lawsuit
accusing the New Mexico Racing Commission of working to "sabotage"
its plans for a $50 million racino in favor of a rival casino operator.
The
lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Albuquerque
says commissioners let the license for La Mesa Racetrack and Casino expire
after the project faced a number of delays.
The lawsuit also accused former
commissioner Mary Cope of intentionally blocking the racino project because she
was a friend of a rival.
The move comes after La Mesa
spent millions of dollars on the northern New Mexico project originally set to open in
2010.
