Please continue to call everyone from yesterdays post. Added to this list is Senate Republican Leader Dean Skelos who lead the closed door deal with Cuomo and Sheldon Silver (!!!!!!!) to bring casinos to Nassau. Give him a piece of you mind!! Deauthorize VLT's in Nassau County. NOW. 516 766-8383
"Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos and Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver seem to have agreed, apparently without consulting anyone except one another and some casino industry lobbyists, that we should bring casino gambling to New York. This might be announced to the public in a matter of days. If so, it's a terrible idea wrapped in a cynical process."
"After a closed-door meeting Tuesday with Gov. Andrew Cuomo and
legislative leaders, Skelos said the discussion included video slot
machines run by off-track betting agencies in Nassau and Suffolk
counties."
"Cairo, who is also a county Republican committee first vice chairman, said he has spoken to Senate Republican leader Dean Skelos of Nassau County about the proposal, which has quietly been discussed for months in Albany. In Albany, the closed-door “leaders meetings” between the governor and legislative leaders are secret."
"Senate Republican leader Dean Skelos of Long Island and Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver of Manhattan say the location of casinos is “evolving.”
"Looks like classic Albany: Three men in a room, huge log roll, no transparency," said Doug Muzzio, political science professor at Baruch College.

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.
