Cardinal Andrew Cuomo demonstrates religious ignorance

or worse as Greek Orthodox Easter does not coincide with Andrew Cuomo's
Celebration of Easter. All NY OTBs should be open 365 days of the year
when tracks are running all across the US that Bettors want to bet.
Andrew Cuomo's religious preference may not be imposed on others. 
See NY Const. Art. 1, Sec. 3.
Andrew Cuomo joins the Directors of Nassau OTB in preventing people from betting, working and/or praying as they wish.
While Arthur Walsh Esq. may represent the members of the Board of Nassau OTB, Eric Harkin, Joseph Bentivegna, and   Frank DiStefano, it is incumbent on the Directors to explain to the bettors of New York
why they have chosen not (yet) to ask Attorney General Eric Scheiderman for a FREE OPINION.
NY PML Sec 105 does not pass even the laugh test

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)?  See article from the Wall Street Journal on Calendars below.

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.


Sincerely yours,

From the Office of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo
Dear Fellow New Yorker,

This weekend, New Yorkers throughout our state will join friends and family members for one of the holiest times of the year.

Today, Good Friday marks a time of solemn reflection for New Yorkers of Christian faith before the celebration of Easter Sunday. Let us impart this spirit of renewal into making our state a greater state for all New Yorkers.

Tonight, New Yorkers of Jewish faith celebrate the first Seder of Passover, commemorating the triumph of freedom over slavery and oppression. This message of hope and endurance has lasted through the ages and lives today in the spirit of the people of the Empire State.

As we come together to feast during Holy Week and Passover, I offer my warmest wishes and sincere blessings to New Yorkers at this most special time.

Sincerely,

Andrew M. Cuomo
