The alienation of the faithful and their needs must be considered in target selection to

achieve a greater public good than just shooting ducks.  Culture is difficult to change. Ask Frank Serpico.

people of varied political persuasions have worked for Nassau OTB since its inception.
they have become disillusioned with the way that OTB's are run, run into the ground (eg NYC OTB DEAD
in bankruptcy  court), or have their "brains" addled by the crack of slot machine salvation (eg Suffolk OTB et al).

While Preet Barra may kill one by one he does the public little good and the working stiffs of the various OTBs little good by his target selection. The trick is to see that OTBs, public benefit corporations, are run for the public good, competently and without excessive self indulgences or worse.  Even the party faithful have grown disillusioned with the OTB death  spiral starting with the I have a dream Race Palace and the "hardworking" antics of Teresa Butler and Dino Amoroso.

Both sides of the plate need to be cognizant and caring of ordinary people, who bet, work, and enjoy doing do  at Nassau OTB a public benefit corporation.

“Everybody does it,” John Noonan, a federal judge in California, wrote in his eight-hundred-and-thirty-nine-page volume, “Bribes: The Intellectual History of a Moral Idea” (1984): “Romans and Visigoths, Englishmen and Africans, Catholics and Jews, pagans and Protestants, capitalists and Communists, imperialists and patriots.” The word “corruption” derives from the Latin corrumpere, which can mean to bribe, but also to mar or destroy. Yet, on the available evidence, corruption has always permeated so many fields of human endeavor that it may be not a corruption of anything—but, rather, a regrettable feature of our natural condition. Accountable government is an ideal, to be sure. It may also be an aberration.
