separation of church and state? NY Const. Art. 1, Sec. 3. Who is Jessica Lappin kidding?
There are Greeks and bettors in New York although she may be too young to remember NYC OTB.
Don't for Jessica Lappin or anyone else until they cogently explain their views and decision to act or not when Nassau OTB closes only on Roman Catholic Easter Sunday and Palm Sunday in preference to Greek Orthodox Easter Sunday and Palm Sunday. There are Greeks in NYC that bet and vote. See if the woman can talk.

About Jessica
Elected to the New York City Council in 2005, Jessica Lappin has emerged as one of the Democratic Party’s rising stars and part of a new generation of leadership in New York.Lifelong New Yorker and Champion of Public Education
As a product of New York City’s public schools and the mother of a kindergartner in one today, Jessica knows how critical access to good public schools is to Manhattan parents. As chair of a key Land Use Subcommittee, Jessica helped play a central role in approving over 20,000 new public school seats throughout the city, to ease overcrowding and help reduce class sizes. And as Borough President, she’ll make sure parents have a greater voice in their kid’s education.
Leading the Way on Progressive Causes
Strongly pro-choice, Jessica wrote and led the fight to pass legislation that cracks down on deceptive crisis pregnancy centers that are actually fronts for anti-abortion groups. Praised by Planned Parenthood and NARAL Pro-Choice New York, Lappin’s Truth in Counseling Law was hailed by the New York Times as an important measure for consumer protection.
A lifelong Democrat, Jessica has been a strong, consistent voice on issues of civil rights and social justice—from marriage equality to the Dream Act—and for protecting the most vulnerable. As Chair of the Committee on Aging, she’s worked tirelessly to preserve vital services for seniors. And to keep Manhattan affordable for the middle class, she supports strengthening our rent protection laws.
Bringing New Jobs to New York City
Jessica played a key role in bringing the Cornell-Technion Applied Science and Engineering Campus to Manhattan. Located on Roosevelt Island, it is projected to create 30,000 new jobs and 600 spin-off companies. And it’s exactly the kind of initiative Manhattan’s next Borough President will need to champion to boost our economy and diversify our job base.
As the former Chair of the Council’s Land Use Subcommittee on Landmarks, Public Siting and Maritime Uses, Jessica has also made significant contributions in protecting the historic fabric of the city, encouraging safe and sensible development, and leading the fight to create a greener New York—adding three new parks in Manhattan and opening up previously inaccessible waterfront to the public. Now, after Sandy’s devastating toll, waterfront infrastructure and rebuilding issues are more important than ever.
Endorsed by Leading New York Democrats
In 2011, Jessica was chosen to be a Rodel Fellow by the Aspen Institute, a respected international think-tank focused on helping young leaders forge new solutions to pressing governmental problems. And over the past five years, she’s received numerous awards and honors.
In her race for Borough President, she has won strong endorsements from Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney, State Senators Liz Krueger, Jose Marco Serrano, and Brad Hoylman, former State Senator Tom Duane, City Councilwoman Julissa Ferreras, Assemblymembers Francisco Moya and Dan Quart, and major labor unions like 32BJ SEIU and the Teamsters Joint Council 16.

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.
