Shouldn't there be an article about how much Sandy and the other big wigs at NYC OTB make so we can all be outraged even more. Seems like that is what was done to NYRA.

Get a load of this audit by selected Comptroller DiNapoli.
Between the hacks at OTB, the pols who we NY voters elected, and the Comptroller who was selected by Shelly Silver.... the 3 card monte game is in play.

DiNapoli is an idiot who was never qualified to be comptroller. He couldn't even win the Nassau County Executive primary even with the support of the Democratic party and was handed this job thanks to patronage. Have any of these morons figured out that there is no OTB if there is no racing?

The crux of the problem is that they are looking for solutions to continue the OTB system when they should be looking to eliminate it.

I agree with you 100 percent. You pose a good question but I have idea.

I don't know you live in NY but I do. I'm a home owner and pay quite a bit in taxes. While this topic concerns racing the rest of the state is a total quagmire. We see countless examples on how the main stream press misrepresents just about every issue when it comes to horse racing. While that is troubling but what is even more troubling is how the rest of the affairs of this state and government are not reported accurately.

Exactly... As outlined by Assemblyman Pretlow in his report to Shelly Silver, the executives and board at NYC OTB are receiving in excess of $12,000,000 in compensation.

How many executives does this POS outfit need? It would be funny but considering the state of racing in NY it's very sad.
