And if you believe that politicians are going to take less in the shortterm to possibly make more in the longterm, you simply havent been paying attention.

"According to published reports, Rayburn is going to earn a monthly salary of $125,000, significantly more than Casey was making."

Apparently the state is willing to invest they atre paying this guy 1.5 a year.. What's the big deal about an additional 28.5 mil to support an industry that employees folks and yields tax dollars both directly and indirectly? 30 mil isnt a lot of money for an industry!

Have you slept through the last 9 years? Show me one sign that a politician (not a lame duck like Patterson) will be willing to commit to a longterm deal to 'give' NYRA money? It isnt as though NYRA would want to do this on a year to year basis. I'm sure a $150 million 'giveaway' with the state billions in the hole will go over well.
