Dear Bettors and Taxpayers of the Town of Hempstead  please join me in asking the Chairman of the Board of Appeals  David P. Weiss and Board Members include Gerald G. Wright, Katuria D'Amato, Christian Browne, John F. Ragano, Frank A. Mistero and Kimberly A. Perry to immediately ask  New York State Attorney  General Eric Schneiderman for an Opinion answering the following questions:

1. Does NY PML Sec 105 apply to Nassau OTB?
2. Is NY PML Sec 105 constitutionally defensible?
3. Does NY PML Sec 105 violate the rights of Nassau County Bettors secured by NY Const. Art. 1, Sec. 3?
4. Is NY PML Sec 105 vague, indefinite and/or overly broad as the term Easter Sunday does not define a single Sunday in all years. See eg. the Gregorian and Julian Calendars.
