Ed Mangano is a lazy lawyer who can't be bothered to see that

Nassau OTB is open on Palm Sunday and each and every Easters Sunday so bettors can bet and workers that want to work can do so.

All he has to do is ask the New York State Attorney  General for a free opinion that will likely tell him that 

1. NY PML Sec 105 is not constitutionally defensible, 2. violates the rights of Nassau County Republic Bettors secured by NY Const. Art. 1, Sec. 3 and is 3. vague, indefinite and/or overly broad.

 

Sell your vote on November 8 for the first Government Official being in New York State who will ask the New York Attorney General for a Formal or Informal Opinion. Seeking competent, free advice is alot to ask for from.....
