welcome to smalltown big lawyer who is reminded that

even Pope Francis says the other guy's church shall be treated with respect even if Pope Andrew Cuomo says that not only his holiness Bartholomew but the bettors and employees of Nassau OTB who do not believe as he does can go to hell, NY Const Art 1 Sec 3 being of no moment.


your client has the right to remain silent or talk trash about the ny const while andrew cuomo, josepgh g cairo and kevin mccaffrey drive the truvk over those that wish to work and or pray  as they see fit.  there is no religious tolerance in the cuomo kingdom.

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.


Attorney Todd R. Geremia of the firm Jones Day in Manhattan said the motion to dismiss was filed Tuesday at State Supreme Court in Nassau County. The same motion was filed in 44 such cases against the diocese, he said. It could be filed in more, he said.

“The New York State Constitution imposes a constraint, as a matter of due process, on any such legislative enactment," the diocese argues in court papers. "Specifically, the Court of Appeals has for nearly 100 years interpreted the Due Process Clause in our State Constitution to allow for revival of time-barred claims only in exceptional circumstances where claimants were previously prevented in some specific manner from asserting timely claims.”
