to do as you wish and for economic common sense.
When tracks are running that bettors want to bet, Nassau OTB, a public benefit corporation must be open to take the bets and allow workers who do not share Andrew Cuomo and Ed Mangano's religion to work if they wish. Working is the way old people used to make money?

Speed zones are fine unless they change every two blocks. Hope the money is going to Music and Arts in the schools
-
We have an election coming up vote them out all of them.

I am not a lawyer but I remember reading that if you are denied a
FOIL request and you win in court you are entitled to attorneys fees.
And its not just the first person that sues. Anyone who wins a case for a
FOIL request is entitled to reasonable attorneys fees.

THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW HOW MUCH THEY ARE GETTING!!!!!
-
I do not care about speed-zone cameras. You know why? Because I DON"T
SPEED IN SCHOOL ZONES. If you choose to then fine, you will be fined.
If this upsets you then obey the speed limit and you will not be fined.
It's that simple..... Just stop whining about it already people
-
The speed cameras are a rip off. Mangano and company can't manage
county finances so cameras are another source of revenue. Some cameras
do not work properly, others are misplaced, and mostly they create
problems. Where is the petition? I'll gladly sign to eliminate them.
-
Don't speed.
There ya go.

Carole Wilkinson of Bellmore should drive the speed limit to avoid tickets. That was easy.

Thank you so much for continuing to report on this
story. I find this whole situation confusing. While I totally agree that
drivers must slow down when driving by schools, the way this system is
organized is very perplexing. Some schools have blinking lights showing
driver’s speed, other have neon signs showing the speed limit and others just
have
small grey signs that are very difficult to notice. In addition, the
speed limits in these zones vary from 15 mph to 30 mph.
This variety poses many questions and concerns for the Long Island
driver. First of all, the driver now must constantly scan the side of
the road to see if they are entering a reduced speed limit zone. Next,
they have to determine the
actual speed limit for this zone. Finally, as they reduce their speed,
sometimes to 15 mph, they have to make sure that the driver behind them is also
slowing down so that they don’t cause an accident.
We constantly talk about distracted drivers who text and make calls while
driving.
It is obviously dangerous to take your eyes off the road to
communicate in these ways. I contend that all of these different signs
and speed limits are creating a new area for distracted driving. Yes,
drivers must always know the speed limit, but they also must be aware of
pedestrians and other drivers in the area. Right now, most Long
Islanders are watching out for speed zones so that they don’t get a
ticket. I would have thought that the safety of our school children
wouldhave been the first priority. This speed zone policy is not only
unfair to drivers, but more importantly, it is placing school children
in jeopardy.
-
You should turn in your drivers license.
-
Quite frankly this issue really isn't an issue, there is a lot that
we as Drivers have to do when driving, Everyone Stop whining about
these cameras, follow the speed limit or drive slower or suffer the
fines.

Mangano doesn't want to release records under New York State's
Freedom of Information Law and Mangano supports Cuomo who doesn't
support the Moreland Commission's job of rooting out corruption, nuff
said, VOTE CUOMO OUT!!!
-
Cut to the chase: taxpayers in Nassau County have been lied to
repeatedly about this program and the dishonesty continues unabated.
This is not just a Republican issue; this is not just a Democratic
issue. Mangano and the entire county legislature have lost all
credibility.

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.
