Cardinal Andrew Cuomo and Teamsters President Kevin McCaffrey

Local 707 continue to work on behalf on a limited segment of the religious community to the detriment of those of us of other faiths, no faiths at all, or just plain old ordinary horse bettors who enjoy betting at a New York OTB, a public benefit corporation,  the fine races run outside the state of New York every day of the year
NY PML Sec 105 violates the rights of New York Bettors secured by NY Const Art. 1, Sec. 3.
Andrew Cuomo is a thief of our right that the State of NY not express its religious preference.
NY PML Sec 105 is unconstitutional. Just have Cardinal Andrew Cuomo ask his errand boy, Attorney General Eric Schneiderman for an Opinion. The Opinion is free to Cardinal Cuomo.

Kevin McCaffrey, President of Teamsters Local 707, which represents Nassau OTB employees et al discriminates against workers that may wish to work on Sundays for time and a half rather than take vacation at straight time. The pension plan of  Local 707 is in critical status. Check it out on the US Dep't of Labor website. Certainly there is one or more Nassau OTB employees who observe Greek Easter and not Roman Catholic Easter. NY PML Sec 105 is an insult to us all. Any moron knows that Cardinal Andrew Cuomo can't pick the day Easter Sunday is. See the Gregorian and Julian Calendars.  Remember the dearly departed members of New  York City OTB who were paid double time for any Sunday that they worked. 
New York City OTB opened and made money. It's attorney told NYC OTB that NY PML Sec 105 did not apply to them and was in any event unconstitutional.  Cardinal Andrew Cuomo needs to learn how to read the New York Constitution eg NY Const. Art. 1 Sec. 3.

Dear Fellow New Yorker, Early this morning, New York State passed historic reforms with the approval of five pieces of critical legislation. In a new video, Governor Cuomo speaks directly to New Yorkers about these just-passed historic agenda items. Click here to watch the video. The major elements include the passage of: The Governor’s sweeping pension reform plan that will save state and local governments over $80 billion over the next 30 years, providing significant relief to taxpayers throughout the state; A constitutional amendment and legal statute that reforms the redistricting process in NYS by putting an end to the partisan and incumbent-protection gerrymandering that has plagued the process for over a century; The Governor’s “all crimes” DNA databank bill, which reforms our criminal justice system to better protect New Yorkers and makes NY the first state in the nation to require DNA samples from anyone convicted of a felony or a Penal Law misdemeanor; A new teacher evaluation system that fosters better student achievement and school accountability; The first step toward enacting a casino gaming amendment that will create tens of thousands of good  jobs and drive tourism throughout the state.   As the Governor says in the video, changing the status quo is not easy. But with the support of the people, it is possible. Click here to learn more about the Governor’s bold agenda. The Governor is committed to putting people ahead of politics and will continue to ensure that your voice is heard in Albany. Thank you for getting involved as we continue to build a new New York.
