NYRA Franchise: "Backwards, not forwards"

[Cannon Shell]

The real shame of this is that even if the NYRA deal gets done, no one of political importance in NY has said one sane or reasonable thing about the OTB situation. Even if NYRA gets a great deal, the OTB's still are a huge drag on racing in the state. That they would carry on about adding political appointees onto NYRA's board with the hundreds of political jobs in the OTB machine is a disgrace.
