Is it any wonder County Executive Edward Mangano has no money when Nassau OTB turns away customers with cash in hand when tracks are running all across the United States that bettors want to bet and perhaps Nassau OTB workers would be glad to have the choice of whether to work or not while their employer is still solvent. See www.ntra.com for the tracks that are running every Sunday in April all across the United States. Freedom to do as you please? See also NY Const. Art. 1, Sec. 3. Tell Ciampoli to do some useful work and request a free Opinion. Then if you wish to join non bettors in Church you are always free to do so while we gamble.

Dear Attorney General Eric Schneiderman: The Bettors of the State of New York and the employees of the remaining OTBs, public benefit corporations, have no standing to ask for your Opinion to the following simple questions with seemingly obvious answers:: 1. Will the Attorney General defend the constitutionality of NY PML Sec 105? 2. Does NY PML Sec 105 apply to Nassau OTB? 3. Does NY PML Sec 105 violate the rights of New York 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 one and only one Sunday in all years (see eg Gregorian and Julian Calendars)? I hope that you will sua sponte issue an Opinion as to the above so that bettors may bet, workers may work or not as they wish, and the State and its subdivisions make money. There are tracks running all across the United States every day of the year that bettors want to bet. Track calendars may be found at eg www.ntra.com. The OTBs also sell New York Lottery tickets which are drawn every day of the year. The OTBs also cash non IRS Lottery tickets in cash for any sum, a convenience for many Lotto Players. It is critical in these current time that the OTBs are open when customers want to bet. I believe that your Opinion will belatedly validate the actions of New York City OTB taken on the advice of its Counsel in 2003.
