| OTB won't open Easter By Matt Hegarty Daily Racing Form | ||
| NEW YORK -- New York City Off-Track Betting Corporation has decided to keep its betting parlors closed this Easter Sunday, seven days after the company disregarded a warning from state regulators not to open on Palm Sunday. New York City OTB officials said they made the decision not to open on Sunday after taking criticism from state regulators about the Palm Sunday opening. State law makes it illegal for any racing association to conduct parimutuel wagering on Palm Sunday, Easter Sunday, and Christmas. The law does not specifically mention offtrack betting companies. NYCOTB, which is owned by the city, opened 37 of its 75 parlors on Palm Sunday and took in approximately $1.7 million in bets. Michael Hoblock, the chairman of the New York State Racing and Wagering Board, said that the board most likely will not decide on a punishment for the OTB's Palm Sunday opening until next week. State law allows the board to impose $5,000 fines for violations.  Send this story to a friend | Most sent stories | ||

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — A traditional open house event at New York's Executive Mansion that is typically held on New Year's Day is being postponed until March.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo says Wednesday that the event will be postponed until Easter Sunday because Jan. 1 will mark the first anniversary of his father's death. His father, former Gov. Mario Cuomo, died last year at 82.
The governor said in a statement that he wanted to continue the open house tradition but also wanted to commemorate his father's loss with his family.
He said the event will instead be held on March 27.
Visitors will be welcome to tour of the mansion in downtown Albany, as well as participate in an Easter egg hunt.

Okayfine. Observe his Yortzeit.
But how does that counsel in favor of choosing Easter Sunday?
Given this man's family upbringing, his ideology, and his comments urging his opponents to leave the state, I have every reason to believe he chose March 27th purposely to disrespect those who observe the holiday.
Mario the faux eco-friendly turned the canal bank at Butternut -- the lynchpin to the canal system and historically the only reason NYC is the financial capital of the world -- into a garbage dump, and he left the state park system a complete dilapidated mess.
For that alone, his passing is not anything I'd ever recognize solemnly. In fact, New Year's Eve is a great time to remember it. With champagne, horn-blowers, eye-blinkers -- revelry.
