Because we are very unlikely to get a law passed during this Congress.
To continue to push for a player friendly bill, we need funding. FT/PS fund much of the PPA's budget through the IGC.
Sure, Harrah's and company will still push for regulation, but their interests are not necessarily aligned with ours. Its possible to get regulation that kills the games. See what happened in France.
I think this amendment will end up reducing PPA influence in the next Congress while increasing the B&M influence. That's not good IMO. I dont want to be paying 7% rake on Harrahs.us in 2018.
