NY Bettors do not believe NY Const Art 1, Sec. 3

right thief Andrew Cuomo and neither should you. Anyone knows you can't close Nassau OTB based on religious preference. eg closed on Roman Catholic Palm Sunday and open on Greek Orthodox Palm Sunday.
Andrew Cuomo is unfit to be Governor and is a thief of the rights of NY Bettors secured by NY Const. ARt, 1, Sec. 3

Dear Fellow New Yorker, Twenty-four months ago, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo was sworn into office. Over the past two years, the Governor has worked tirelessly towards the goal of building a new New York. Time and time again, he has produced results on issues that had proven intractable for years. Working with the Legislature, the Governor balanced the State’s budget two years in a row and brought long-term stability to our state finances. He got a property tax cap passed to reduce the ever-growing tax burden on our families and businesses. He led the fight for ethics reform, providing for true transparency in Albany. And he helped restore our state’s reputation as the progressive capital of the nation by achieving marriage equality and promoting a progressive agenda aimed at making New York a more fair and just place for all New Yorkers. Notable achievements in the past year include: Reforming our state’s education system to focus on student achievement and accountability; Enacting a bold economic blueprint to boost our state’s economic growth and create tens of thousands of jobs while rebuilding our state’s aging infrastructure; Enacting public pension reform that will save state and local taxpayers a combined $80 billion over the next 30 years; Expanding New York’s DNA databank to better protect New Yorkers; and Creating the Justice Center for the Protection of People with Special Needs which transforms how our state protects over one million New Yorkers with disabilities or special needs. Click here to read the Governor’s full 2-Year Progress Report. As our state faces new and daunting challenges resulting from Hurricane Sandy, the Governor is committed to an extensive recovery effort and to executing a strategy to protect New Yorkers from the impact of climate change. While many challenges remain ahead, we are heartened by the progress we have made. Working together, we can continue to build a new New York, one that is rooted in opportunity, prosperity, and fairness. A happy New Year to you and your family. Sincerely, The Office of the Governor

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.
