On the interuption topic, personally, I don't know what to think. On one hand, I think Bruno et al is again hurting the indutry as a whole. Why is this any diffferent than approving VLT's and after X # of years not having them up and running? Wanting "the others to be involved" is self serving to me. Political football and everyone is fumbling the ball.
If the deadline comes and goes, and Spitzer says let NYRA run the show in the interim, the Republicans, I think, have to approve that as well. More importantly, the Republicans want to right to chose who will be the interim run the show group. If this turns into a bluff/stalemate, then it's nothing but bad, very bad, for the industry as a whole.
My common sense says it's a done deal and NYRA gets the extension, and there is no shut-down, interuption, etc., but who knows.
