gamblers and Nassau OTB employees are considered in the public good that arises from seeing that Nassau OTB remains solvent and in business.
Changes that are needed immediately include:
1. Seeing that Nassau OTB is open 365 days of the year just like the NY State Lottery.
2. Correcting the statutory interpretation of the decision of the NY Court of Appeals. See below

gamblers and Nassau OTB employees are considered in the public good that arises from seeing that Nassau OTB remains solvent and in business.
3. Having the proceeds of uncashed OTB tickets returned to the OTBs and not the State of New York.
4. Correcting financial issues involving the operation of the Belmont Cafe which amounts to an off track betting location being run at the track by NYRA.
Slot machines are not the answer. The employees of Nassau OTB put in an honest day's work for an honest days pay and expect the leaders of both parties to see that Nassau OTB continues to provide branches in neighborhoods for people to bet at.

ALBANY, N.Y., April 16 (UPI) -- New
York state Senate leader Dean Skelos and his son are being investigated
by the U.S. Attorney General's Office as part of a corruption scandal,
several media sources have reported.
According to The New York Times
federal prosecutors are presenting evidence to a grand jury. The
investigation is looking into the business dealings of Adam Skelos and
whether his father, the state majority leader, exerted any power to aid
him.
Neither Dean nor Adam Skelos has been accused of wrongdoing.
Investigators are targeting the Long Island Republican over his relationship with an Arizona contracting company that hired Adam Skelos. The company, AbTech Industries, was awarded a lucrative storm-water treatment contract despite not having submitted the lowest bid.
On their website, AbTech Industries claims the storm water treatment contract was awarded in October 2013.
Investigators are also looking into a $20,000 payment to Adam Skelos from a title insurance company he never worked for.
Adam Skelos, 32, said he was surprised to learn of the federal inquiry.
"I had no idea that this was even an issue," he said. "I got to tell you, this is really unexpected."
Skelos, 67, represents Nassau County on Long Island. He's served in the state Senate since 1985.
