NYRA Board meeting - P5 and Trakus

[Cannon Shell]

It is refreshing to see that the state Gov't is doing such a great job on the board of NYRA. I mean everybody knows that the most important thing facing the multi-billion dollar business is ensuring that inane bidding rules are followed to a T rather than wasting time making sure that the company that wins is the best suited to do the job. And I have to say that I am very, very ,very, very skeptical that the incoming CEO is going to have even the slightest chance to do his or her job without significant interference from some of the geniuses serving on the board.

In New York the only bids on government contracts that are acceptable are ones where the politicians get greased. I assume the anger here means that the right politicians didn't get their cut. Fitness for the actual job bid is irrelevant so long as the right amount passes under the table.
