How funny the state politicos are... NOW these morons spout off about 'urgency'... The previous EIGHT YEARS didn't provide enough of an opportunity to get this done. Laughable frauds.

NY Lawmakers Want Urgency in Casino Decision

State lawmakers March 10 urged Gov. David Paterson, who is considering pulling the plug on Aqueduct Entertainment Group’s casino deal at Aqueduct, to pick from one of the remaining bidders if the AEG contract is scuttled.

“We need to move from the other choices available. There’s no reason to start from scratch again,’’ Sen. Eric Adams, a Brooklyn Democrat and chairman of the Senate’s racing committee, said if Paterson and legislative leaders kill the AEG deal.

The state’s Lottery Division has told aides to Paterson that it does not believe AEG can obtain the licenses it needs from the agency to run the Aqueduct casino.

Sources said the agency, among it concerns, raised issues with Karl O’Farrell, an Australian businessman who ran Capital Play, which bid on a previous Aqueduct casino project. AEG officials have sought to assure lottery officials that O’Farrell has no role with its current bid.
