This was fairly predictable: http://blog.timesunion.com/capitol/a...-nyc-otb-plan/

How much would the extension of the NYCOTB concessions to the regional OTBs cost the racing industry?

Ed Fountaine brought the Lanza bill up yesterday. That package is a non-starter.

I thought todays ATR opening was Classic Byk.. I love when you say NYCOTB isnt Bankrupt? I wonder if we should have the Judge who granted NYCOTB such protection call the show and explain why he doesn't concur with your assessment! Then you can explain to him why he is wrong..Now that would be great radio.

Considering they are using a codicil of bankruptcy that hadn't been invoked since the late 1800's, I doubt anyone even bothered to look at their finances. Only Matt Hegarty did the actual math. They are so completely full of crap their eyes are brown. But despite that, it's important to get the ADW/Phone-A-Bet out of their hands and salvage something for the tracks and breeders. As I said, it will but time to formulate a viable bricks and mortar plan for the future.

But believe me and Assemblyman Pretlow when we tell you that they could be making $1,000,000+ per month if the operation's feet were held to the fire.

If the guy making 150k a month thought so I would think we would have said as much..These 1.8mil jobs in companies earning 12 mil a year aren't bad.
