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.
Friends,

Wandering Dago, Inc. v. Destito
by Justia Inc
WD filed suit against OGS, alleging that defendants violated its rights under the First Amendment, the Equal Protection Clause, and the New York State Constitution by denying WD's applications to participate as a food truck vendor in the Lunch Program based on its ethnic-slur branding. The Second Circuit reversed the district court's grant of summary judgment for defendant, holding that defendants' action violated WD's equal protection rights and its rights under the New York State Constitution. In this case, it was undisputed that defendants denied WD's applications solely because of its ethnic-slur branding. In Matal v. Tam, 137 S. Ct. 1744 (2017), the Supreme Court clarified that this action amounted to viewpoint discrimination and, if not government speech or otherwise protected, was prohibited by the First Amendment. The court rejected defendants' argument that their actions were unobjectionable because they were either part of OGS's government speech or permissible regulation of a government contractor's speech.

the $64,000 Donald Trump donated to his campaign.
I shouldn’t even have to ask this. President Trump called the white supremacists at Charlottesville “very fine people.” He said that Mexicans were rapists. He assaulted women, and bragged about doing it.
The fact that the Governor wants to keep even a cent from a man like that should tell us everything we need to know about Andrew Cuomo.
That’s why, to counter Cuomo’s war chest full of Trump money, we’re setting a goal of raising $64,000—the exact amount Donald Trump donated to Cuomo’s campaigns. So I’m asking:
Trump now stands accused of directing his lawyer to pay two women he was having an affair with for their silence, in order to influence the presidential election.
We’ve been telling Cuomo to return these donations since July. He didn’t have an excuse for keeping Trump’s money then, and he definitely doesn’t have one now. If you agree:
