UPDATE #2:
Sources say Aqueduct racino mess is growing
ALBANY - State investigators have uncovered a slew of eyebrow-raising oddities in their probe of the tainted Aqueduct racino deal, the Daily News has learned.
"It's becoming clearer and clearer that there's a problem there," a source close to the investigation said.
Probers with Inspector General Joseph Fisch's office have grilled a host of Gov. Paterson's aides, including his No. 2 lawyer, David Rose, and members of the state Lottery and Budget divisions.
They're also digging through e-mails and documents between the state and racino bidders.
Some officials have told investigators they were shocked when Paterson picked politically connected Aqueduct Entertainment Group to run the racino, which is expected to bring operators and the state hundreds of millions of dollars a year.
