Wendy Long Esq. thinks she knows when Palm Sunday

and Easter Sunday are.  Let's give Wendy Long Esq. the NY law challenge and have her tell us
whether it is lawful to close Nassau OTB on Roman Catholic Palm Sunday and not Greek Orthodox Palm Sunday. Ditto for Roman Catholic Easter Sunday and Greek Orthodox Easter Sunday. Wendy Long teaches Sunday school in her church.
Fair is fair so the incumbent Senator and lawyer should answer the same questions.

hint see NY Const. Art. 1, Sec. 3 and the Gregorian and Julian Calendars.

 
 
Hello,

Thank you for your interest in volunteering for Wendy Long! I'm Shoshana, Wendy's Volunteer Coordinator. Some of us have already spoken, and others have also already been volunteering. We appreciate the help! If you have not yet volunteered, but would like to, the best way is to pick up literature to hand out at your local victory office or make calls at a victory office! 

We have victory offices located all over New York, including in Staten Island, Chester, Kingston, Nesconset, Watertown, Syracuse, Glen Falls, Lancaster, Geneva, NYC, Brooklyn, Cragsmoor, White Plains, Dryden, Newfield, Lansing, and Jamestown. The full list is below, and I have provided a link to Wendy's website, which also has the list. We also have a Nassau County office coming soon! If you would like to stay up to date on the Nassau office, let me know! 

Lastly, you can purchase signs, bumper stickers, and more through her online store here: http://www.cafepress.com/wendylongfornewyork

Stop scratching on holidays
Published: June 1, 2012


Off Track Betting in New York State has been racing into a crisis called shrinking revenue. Some people have spitballed a solution: Don’t close on holidays.
New York State Racing Law bars racing on Christmas, Easter and Palm Sunday, and the state has ruled OTBs can’t handle action on those days, even though they could easily broadcast races from out of state.
“You should be able to bet whenever you want,” said Jackson Leeds, a Nassau OTB employee who makes an occasional bet. He added some irrefutable logic: “How is the business going to make money if you’re not open to take people’s bets?”
Elias Tsekerides, president of the Federation of Hellenic Societies of Greater New York, said OTB is open on Greek Orthodox Easter and Palm Sunday.
“I don’t want discrimination,” Tsekerides said. “They close for the Catholics, but open for the Greek Orthodox? It’s either open for all or not open.”
OTB officials have said they lose millions by closing on Palm Sunday alone, with tracks such as Gulfstream, Santa Anita, Turf Paradise and Hawthorne running.
One option: OTBs could just stay open and face the consequences. New York City OTB did just that back in 2003. The handle was about $1.5 million – and OTB was fined $5,000.
Easy money.
