on economic development and creating a better business climate on Long
Island. Law also serves as Co-Chair of the Long Island Regional Economic
Development Council.
“Throughout
his career, Kevin has repeatedly answered the call to public service in
New York State,” said Gearan. “His commitment to and knowledge of

tailor-made for the Gaming Facility Location Board, and I thank him for
taking on this important task.”
Previously,
Law led the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA), the 2nd largest public

of the $10 billion
company brought developments in energy efficiency and renewable energy
by launching the largest energy efficiency program for any public
utility in the country, by procuring the largest solar energy project in
New York State and by introducing “smart meters”
to the region. Previously, Law served as Chief Deputy County Executive
for Suffolk County, where he had oversight of all county departments
consisting of 12,000 employees and a $2.7 billion budget. Prior to his

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.
