Bruno said that he expects the Senate to make compromises, but he contended that his proposal made the "most sense" for New York.

"How could they not be for this?" Bruno said. "It makes so much sense. I haven't heard anybody say it can't work, that it won't work."





Joe....it wont work....there is one

I am not a backer of Bruno, Spitzer, or NYRA. To be honest, I am just very much disappointed in how this has all been handled.

What I have not seen anyone bring up is how in 2003, then Attorney General of NYS, Elliot Spitzer publicly lambasted NYRA. Now 4 years later, he says NYRA is the answer. That I do not understand. What sort of complete reform, that was called for by Spitzer, did NYRA do in 4 years to make them the most competent of all choices in Spitzers eyes? Perhaps they are, but if so, why is Spitzer not calling for further reform from NYRA?

Reform is not a bad thing for NYS Racing, however this process has been flawed from the start, and is now just coming down to a battle of political egos.
