![]() ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) -- New York Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver
says he's against installing lucrative video slot machines at Belmont race track, throwing a road block at a proposal pushed by the Senate and Gov. David Paterson. Silver says building a video slot center at the historic track on Long Island would compete with video slot machines already planned for nearby Aqueduct race track in Queens. Silver, a Democrat, says revenue to the state and racing would simply be split, not increased. Paterson and the Senate's Republican majority proposed slots at Belmont on Sunday to raise revenue as the state faces multibillion dollar deficits over the next three years. But opposition from Silver, who spoke Monday at an event in Rochester, would block the plan.
