Put private entity in charge. Enough of this ridiculous soap opera. I have never heard a bankrupt group with a history of corruption fight so hard for a business that loses money. Hilarious. I guess we all know the reason they are fighting so hard is because the current system is a cashcow for NYRA's friends.

If NY really wanted to improve racing they would just close all the OTB's and make it so you have to go to the track or bet online. If OTB's are the problem, which all the NYRA fans cry all the time, get rid of them. The thing is NYRA loves them because it is a built in excuse for their incompetency.

When did they fire you? Because only someone who has been personally offended or a politician posturing could come up with such a distorted view.

To be fair, this is an interesting read (Seeing as it was done by the person who now believes NYRA to be the right fit for NY Racing).

Again, I am not supporting Bruno's idea, as I think it is completely inane. However, I would like to see why Spitzer saw these problems 4 years ago, and now believes everything is corrected and being run profoundly different.
