HERE IS CRIST'S COLUMN FROM 2/22/09: OTB makes plenty of money for the city, even beyond all its jobs, but its accountants state its complicated revenue streams in a disingenuous way that makes profits appear to be losses. It collects over $10 million a year alone in "surcharge revenue," the dimes and dollars it filches from horseplayers by paying only $3.80 on a $4 winner, and that money goes straight to the city. Yet OTB categorizes this windfall as an expense, and then the city claims OTB is not giving it any money.
