Dear Fellow New Yorker, Today, families and friends across the state will gather to celebrate the eve of a momentous holiday in the Asian community. January 31st marks the arrival of the Lunar New Year when we will welcome the Year of the Horse. During this joyous celebration, members of New York’s large and vibrant Asian community will take the opportunity to pay respect to their elders and ancestors, spend time with family, give thanks, and look forward to a new year filled with luck, happiness and prosperity. In New York, this special occasion is celebrated by a variety of festivals, parades, and joyful gatherings that preserve and enrich a proud heritage. My best wishes to all of those celebrating the Lunar New Year for a peaceful, healthy and successful new year. Sincerely,

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.     NY CONST ART 1 SEC 3 IS WRITTEN IN CHINESE FOR ANDREW CUOMO
