Cardinal Dolan and the Pope should sensitize NY

that it simply can't close Nassau OTB on Roman Catholic Palm Sunday in preference in Greek Orthodox Palm Sunday and Roman Catholic Easter Sunday in preference to Greek Orthodox Easter Sunday.
What Sunday does Cardinal Dolan think NY PML Sec 109 refers to?

Racing, Pari-Mutuel Wagering and Breeding Law

§ 109. Supplementary regulatory powers of the commission. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law, the commission through its rules and regulations or in allotting dates for racing, simulcasting or in licensing race meetings at which pari-mutuel betting is permitted shall be authorized to: 1. permit racing at which pari-mutuel betting is conducted on any or all dates from the first day of January through the thirty-first day of December, inclusive of Sundays but exclusive of December twenty-fifth, Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday; and 2. fix minimum and maximum charges for admission at any race meeting.
 
 
New York has a religious preference and the Cardinal and the Pope cheer on Andrew Cuomo?
The New  York Post should obtain their opinions.
 
 
 
 
 

Subways ‘pass over’ UES Jews

The MTA’s nightly shutdown of No. 6 train service on the Upper East Side falls comes at the height of Passover, infuriating Jews who rely on the subways to get to and from Seders.
“They wouldn’t have done it on Christmas Day,” said Andrea Riesz, 34, a teacher who lives on the Upper East Side. “It is affecting people celebrating Seder, so it angers me.”
The holiday traditionally involves services after sundown that end with a dinner that often finishes late.
The scheduled work began Monday, and will continue into Friday morning.
During those times, all local 6 service from 125th Street to Grand Central is suspended from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. in both directions.
“It would be nice if they were a little bit more sensitive,” said Benny Rogosnitzky, a cantor at Park East Synagogue on 67th Street.
