Amid Suffolk’s joint full-court press with Nassau to get state approval for two betting parlors with 1,000 electronic slot machines each, Suffolk’s OTB hired former Sen. Alfonse D’Amato's powerhouse lobbying firm Park Strategies to aid their cause.
Philip Nolan, Suffolk OTB president, said that D’Amato’s firm was retained for $5,000 a month starting in April to help lobbying on OTB legislation as well as the successful push for the new video lottery terminal emporiums each county will now be able to open. Nassau has used the lobbying services of D’Amato firm for several years.
“We had a very common agenda with Nassau,” said Nolan, “And we felt we would be better served speaking with one voice.”
