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.
at Trump
Cardinal Timothy Dolan tweeted out a touching tribute to Martin Luther King Jr. on Monday — along with a jab at President Trump’s recent reported comments regarding African countries.
“Rev. King, my fellow pastor, we miss you more than ever,” Dolan wrote on the day commemorating the civil rights icon’s life and achievements. “You so powerfully upheld the dignity of every human person, made in God’s image and likeness. You would remind us today that no country is a ‘hole,’ no person unworthy of respect.”
Trump last week was accused of expressing an interest in pushing for more immigrants from countries like Norway during an Oval Office meeting — where he allegedly used the term “shithole countries” to refer to Africa, Haiti and El Salvador.
In the wake of the purported comments, the president has insisted he’s “not a racist.”
“I am the least racist person you have ever interviewed,” he told reporters. “That I can tell you.”
