Trakus and HDTV are luxuries...I'm a fan of the former and I've reluctantly enjoyed the latter ( HDTV is completely unnecessary but real nice to look at)

However, all of those things involve spending lots of money.

Those are very tough business decisions.

What Crist proposes are no-brainer ideas that will greatly improve everything for everyone. They are not money-pit luxuries.

Exactly right (willfull ignorance and all).

As for the lower takeout reduction Steve Crist knows that will never happen. Not in New York. Not in a million years here in the Empire State.

Unless there are bribes legislation in New York does not move ahead so the wagering menu idea will need some $ behind it.
