Minority
Democrats on the Nassau County Legislature filed an emergency
resolution yesterday calling on majority Republicans to remove the
three-member board of the Nassau Regional Off-Track Betting Corp. and
replace them with opponents of a proposed gambling parlor at the vacant
Fortunoff property in Westbury.
Presiding Officer Norma Gonsalves (R-East Meadow) was noncommital about the Democrats' bill, saying she would "discuss the legislation with my delegation at which point a determination will be made." When Democrats broached the topic of replacing the board two weeks ago, Gonsalves took a similar position, saying "we should get the facts before we take such measures."
The emergency resolution requires the approval of 13 of 17 legislators; there are 10 Republicans and 7 Democrats, and two seats are vacant.
More coverageLatest Long Island gaming news Legis. Siela Bynoe (D-Westbury), speaking to a crowd of about 850 casino opponents on Wednesday at Carle Place High School, said the OTB board members had "forfeited the trust and confidence" of the legislature by selecting the Fortunoff site.
Bynoe said Democrats would support three new appointments to the board from any party, as long as they are opposed to the Westbury casino.
The OTB board members -- Republicans Joseph Bentivegna of Levittown and Frank DeStefano of Farmingdale, and Independence Party member Eric Harkin of Wantagh -- were appointed in 2009 by the GOP majority on the legislature.

OTB declined to comment on the Democrats' resolution.
Legis. Laura Schaefer (R-Westbury) told the Carle Place protesters that she supports the Democrats' proposal, but doubts it will get a vote because some lawmakers are concerned that a new OTB board would put the video lottery terminals in one of their communities.
"I don't think that it's going to happen," Schaefer said of the resolution. "It's because the presiding officer . . . has not agreed to call it and put it on the agenda."
Audience members were not satisfied, jeering and chanting "just lost my vote" and "we can vote you out."
Last month, OTB announced it was negotiating with Fortunoff bondholders and lenders, who took ownership of The Source mall in 2012. Earlier in December, OTB officials authorized up to $100 million in tax-exempt bonds to buy and develop a VLT site, but officials have said the project, which is expected to open this year, could cost significantly less.
OTB projects that the gaming parlor would create 200 jobs and generate $150 million in annual revenue, including $68 million for state education and $20 million for Nassau.
In 2013, all but one member of Long Island's Senate delegation -- Sen. Carl Marcellino (R-Syosset) -- and all local members of the state Assembly voted for legislation allowing Nassau and Suffolk OTB to erect casino-style gaming parlors with 1,000 video slot machines.
