Nassau OTB is OPEN on HANNUKKAH AND EACH

 
AND EVERY JEWISH HOLIDAY AS IT SHOULD BE
ANDREW CUOMO NEEDS TO READ NY CONST. ART. 1, SEC.3
YOU CAN'T CLOSE NASSAU OTB ON ROMAN CATHOLIC PALM SUNDAY
IN PREFERENCE TO GREEK ORTHODOX PALM SUNDAY
YOU CAN'T CLOSE NASSAU OTB ON ROMAN CATHOLIC EASTER SUNDAY IN PREFERENCE TO GREEKORTHODOX EASTER SUNDAY.
CUOMO SHOULD STICK TO HARLEY'S AND HOT RODS AND SEE THAT THE STATE OF NEW YORK LETS ITS BETTORS BET AT NASSAU OTB EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR

Dear Fellow New Yorker,
Tomorrow, Jews in New York and around the world will celebrate the first night of Hanukkah.
Hanukkah – "the festival of lights" – commemorates the courage and perseverance of a small group of warriors who never lost faith in the face of danger and the miracle they witnessed when all hope had been lost.
Given that so many New Yorkers are still recovering from the storm, this message of determination and endurance is more important than ever. Our communities have found strength by coming together during this difficult time. We are grateful for the outpouring of support to our state from all over the country and the world.
During this special time, we are committed to working together as we rebuild a strong and vibrant New York, one that continues to shine its light of hope and progress throughout the nation and throughout the world.
I wish all those celebrating Hanukkah a joyous and happy holiday.
Sincerely,

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.
