McCaffrey seeks rerun of union election
Suffolk County Legis. Kevin McCaffrey, who is also the $106,000-a-year president of Teamster Local 707, has filed a protest and asked for a rerun of a recent union election that he lost by six votes.
McCaffrey, a Republican, filed the protest with Teamster Joint Council 16, claiming opponents did improper workplace electioneering during the mail-in balloting. He also said more than 100 union members were never sent ballots because one of the employer companies failed to send in dues and proper paperwork until after the election.
About 2,400 ballots went out, but only 650 votes were cast in the contest in which retiree John Kelder, a former union president, edged out McCaffrey. McCaffrey (R-Lindenhurst) lost his union election only days before he won a second term as
a $100,000-a-year county lawmaker. Kelder criticized McCaffrey over cuts in the union’s waning pension fund.

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.
