From Matt Hegarty's piece on DRF linked above...
"During a press conference on Tuesday morning, Bruno said that Spitzer's recommendation ignored the expertise and "creativity" of the companies behind three other partnerships that have made presentations on their plans for the franchise. Under the new state board - which would be called the Racing, Gaming, and Equine Sports Development Corp. - those companies would be free to bid on any part of the franchise."
Hysterical.. What expertise? What creativity? Raising takeout? That's the expert and creative suggestion of the Bruno interests... And what three other companies? Magna, CDI and DNC have left Empire.. Excelsior didn't bother to attend the "hearing" last week and their expert/creative guy (Richard Fields) is gone too.. Capital Play is a complete fraud.. What three companies Joe?
Bruno had no complaints with the system outlined to award the franchise originally, but now wants a whole new process created after the fact. The whole thing is utterly farcical and sad. As has been asked here before, "Shouldn't he be in jail by now?"
