Anti-Question 3 organization hits on job losses in TV ad

The group opposing Question 3 is running a TV ad that highlights the number of jobs it says the measure would cost Massachusetts.

The Massachusetts Animal Interest Coalition says in the ad that 1,000 jobs would be lost if Question 3, the ballot measure that would prohibit dog racing in Massachusetts, succeeds.

The ad features testimonials from several workers who say that they would lose their jobs if Question 3 succeeds.

"It's not right to throw people out of work for no reason," says one.

Recent polling suggests  Bay State voters are nearly evenly split on Question 3.

The Massachusetts Animal Interest Coalition's website says this ad is running on television, but did not immediately return a request for where it is running and the size of the ad buy.

Check out the ad below.
