the rights of NY Bettors of all religious persuasions secured by NY Const. Art. 1, Sec. 3.
Sheldon Silver insults all people who can read and write English and study religion.
NY PML Sec 105 is not constitutional because there are two Easter Sundays in 2012 and Cardinal Andrew Cuomo can't pick from among them. Sheldon Silver is a religious thief and a screw you bettors lawyer. What a great guy.
§ 105. Supplementary regulatory powers of the board. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law, the board through its rules and regulations or in allotting dates for racing or in licensing race meetings at which pari-mutuel betting is permitted shall be empowered to: (i) permit racing at which pari-mutuel betting is conducted on any or all dates from the first day of January through the thirty-first day of December, inclusive of Sundays but exclusive of December twenty-fifth and Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday; and (ii) fix minimum and maximum charges for admission at any race meeting.
Sheldon Silver is like the President of Teamsters Local 858 which represents Nassau OTB
employees who has done nothing to see that his members have the choice of whether to work and/or bet
at any OTB on any day of the year when tracks are running anywhere in the US
Sheldon Silver must have a TVG account or he plays the slot machines at Aqueduct or buys
lottery tickets. We want to bet horses at the public benefit corporations of the State of NY, the OTBs
WOTB workers would be well advised to think about working while they still can and before
they end up like the NYC OTB workers, bankrupt,

New York Gov. Cuomo (l.) and Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver still have a way to go to reach agreement on pension reforms.

ALBANY — Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver has raised the prospect of supporting some pension changes this year — but nowhere near the sweeping reforms Gov. Cuomo seeks.
Silver told the Daily News that his conference has “problems” with Cuomo’s push to offer new state workers the option of a 401(k)-type plan — putting the state’s two powerful Democrats on a collision course.
There are also concerns among his members, Silver said, over Cuomo’s call to reduce pension benefits and raise the retirement age for state and local government workers.
“Many of them say they don’t want a 63-year-old fireman running up the steps of a burning building or a 62-year-old police officer chasing a potential murderer down the street,” Silver (D-Manhattan) said.
The crusading Cuomo wants to overhaul the pension system to cut costs and bogus pension padders. Silver said he told the governor “we can deal with some of the perceived pension abuses.”
The speaker wouldn’t give specifics of those abuses, but a source close to him said it has to do with overtime and disability.
The Assembly, the source said, might be open to limiting how much nonmandatory overtime workers can apply to their pensions.
Cuomo and the lawmakers can’t change pension benefits for existing workers, but they can change the rules on how much overtime state employees can rack up — driving down current costs as well as future pension payouts shouldered by taxpayers, the source said.
Others accuse Silver of trying to protect the unions. They say that severely restricting overtime would likely require the hiring of more state workers while doing little to help the state and city rein in out-of-control pension costs.
Ex-schools boss lashes pact
Joel Klein, Mayor Bloomberg’s former city schools chancellor, has been privately telling people that the deal the city and its union reached last week on a teacher evaluation appeals process does not go far enough.
Klein, according to insiders, has argued that the city should have held out for a full deal on a local teacher grading system — not just the more narrow agreement on the appeals process.
With more negotiations needed to enact the evaluations, Klein fears that United Federation of Teachers President Michael Mulgrew might still torpedo the deal in order to block Bloomberg’s planned closing of 33 troubled schools, sources said.
Reached by The News, Klein called last week’s deal “a major step forward,” but he declined to comment on whether he thought the city should have held out for a full teacher grading system.
Felonies? No big deal!
What’s a lawyer have to do to get disbarred? Hank Morris and David Loglisci — two former top aides to disgraced ex-state Controller Alan Hevesi — still have their law licenses, despite each pleading guilty in 2010 to felonies involving a pay-to-play scandal connected to the state’s massive pension fund.
State law requires immediate disbarment of any lawyer who is convicted of a felony, but records show that the licenses of Morris Loglisci haven’t been yanked.
