Default Wait! Bloomberg says state NOT taking OTB

Oh! Gee... Now that the mayor sees that someone is willing to take over NYC OTB, he wants to know why the city doesn't get to keep the $18 million surcharge... This is rich. The gall on display by Bloomberg is amazing and the fact that the mainstream media REFUSES To give a correct accounting of City OTB's finances is remarkable.

Hegarty, as usual, right on top of the hijinks for DRF...

When you have a businessman for a mayor, it's all about taking money in and not giving anything back in terms of service. The dude looks good when it comes to the books but he absolutely sucks when it comes to thinking about the quality of life for those living in the area.
