but do not respond to inquiries via email. Members of the Eastern Orthodox Church and their religious leaders are invited to address NY PML Sec 105. New York's politicians and OTBs believe that they may decide the day when Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday falls. Such determinations are/should be made only by the Church(es) and NOT the State.
Your message to the Bishop's Office has been received. Although all messages are brought to the attention of Bishop Murphy, it is not possible for him to answer each message personally. Please accept the Bishop's appreciation for writing and the assurance that he will take any suggestions or concerns into consideration. If your concern needs a personal response, please address your letter to Bishop Murphy as follows: Most Reverend William Murphy Diocese of Rockville Centre PO Box 9023 Rockville Centre, NY 11571-9023 Please be assured of Bishop Murphy's prayers for you and your loved ones.
Dear Most Rev. William Murphy, Bishop of Rockville Centre: I am a cashier for Nassau OTB, a public benefit corporations. I would like your opinion on NY PML Sec 105. The State of New York has chosen to close the OTBs ONLY on Roman Catholic Easter and Roman Catholic Palm Sunday. This violates the rights of New York State Bettors secured by NY Const. Art. 1, Sec. 3. It is not the province of the State of New York to pick and chose from among the holy days defined by the Vatican and the Eastern Orthodox Church. There are horse races run at tracks across the United States every day of the year.. New York State Lottery tickets are sold every day of the year. The slot machines at Aqueduct are open every day of the year. I believe people should be freely to pray, work and/or bet. Below you will find the opinion of Father Luke of St. Paul's in Hempstead. Governor Andrew Cuomo and/or other public official with standing should immediately request an Opinion from Attorney General Eric Schneiderman. I do not have standing to ask for such an Opinion and have repeatedly asked the New York Racing and Wagering Board to request a Formal Opinion from Attorney General Eric Schneiderman. Your Opinion and/or that of Cardinal Timothy Dolan may persuade the politicians and OTBs of New York to ask Attorney General Eric Schneiderman for his Opinion. I look forward to your response. Time is of the essence. Sincerely yours,
Nassau OTB Cashier who works Sundays March 28, 2012 _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Hi Jackson,

Dear frluke@stpaulhempstead.org:
I believe that NY PML Sec 105 violates the rights of New York Bettors secured by NY Const.Art. 1, Sec. 3. Simply stated, the OTBs (public benefit corporations), of New York can't pick and chose from among the day defined as Easter Sunday by the Gregorian and Julian Calendars in the years when the days do not coincide. I believe that bettors and religious people should be free to do as they wish on any given day of the year.
I am interested in your views on the subject.
Sincerely yours,

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<http://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.
Sincerely yours,
Nassau OTB Cashier who works Sundays
