I'd love to see the whole chain of email in its entirety, not pieces of it.

It all seems like a big misunderstanding vs. the ponzi scheme it is being compared to across the internet. If the slots weren't pumping money into the arms of the industry nobody would give a darn in Albany.. A bunch of two faced self serving politicians as far as I can see. Sure Hayward should have been crystal clear but him not being perfect doesn't mean NYRA are crooks.
