Historical racing

Hill is a named member of the Idaho United Against Prop 1 Political Action Committee (PAC),[6] which was created to oppose Idaho Proposition 1 (2018). The PAC's treasurer is "Ernie" Stensgar, a member of the Coeur d'Alene tribe.[7] In 2015, tribal representatives testified during Idaho Senate and House State Affairs committee hearings that they were worried that historical racing terminals at racetracks would negatively impact their own tribal casino revenues.[8][9]
