What about the $120 million that was forgiven?

Would you not agree that it's a small price for the three pieces of real estate in Queens, Nassau County and Saratoga that NYRA turned over to the state yesterday?

As I wrote in an unpublished piece a few days ago, it's the best real estate deal the state of New York has engaged in since Peter Minuit bought Manhattan.

I agree that $120 million is a small price to pay for the three pieces of land. However, how does that help Joe taxpayer whose money was forgiven by the gov't?

Steve I didnt mention a thing about the tax payers paying back the $105 million. I mentioned the tax payers getting stiffed on $120 million. I think you should go back and re-read my post. Also, how would you feel if you had to pay back $105 million that the state loaned out to another business? I would be pissed if I was the operating company of the VLT's. However, I am sure they will keep their mouths clsoed because they just want in.
