Despite the evidence to the contrary you and many others refuse to see that VLT's ARE are a piece of it's "merits". The state passed a law in 2001 allowing specific business to have these things. NYRA is one of those businesses. It's competition (both in state and out of state) has VLT's. That makes it a valid issue. And you cant just ignore the fact that NYCOTB refuses to pay. That is a significant amount of money to lose.

2001 is forever ago. You have to let this go quoting 2001 laws that have not been implemented is crazy. The world has changed so much since what was passed in 2001. What good is saying abortion is legal if nobody got one for 10 years because of one thing or another?

BTW NYRA didnt give the government a PENNY gamblers did all NYRA did was oversee the transfer from pocket A to pocket B... Giving them a bunch of credit for there horrible operations 9 years ago is invalid.. The current guys have been ok but lets not forget just how sorted NYRA PAST is!
