New York OTB board goes into emergency session
The board of the New York City Off-Track Betting Corporation went into an emergency meeting on Friday afternoon to consider a motion to delay its plan to shutdown until after the state Senate convenes on Tuesday, according to state officials.
On Friday, it was unclear if Senate leaders had lined up more than 32 votes to support the bill. Negotiations were continuing on Friday on whether the Senate would demand amendments to a bill that the Assembly passed last week. If amendments are added, the Assembly would need to reconvene as well.
