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.
Graham said court created a constitutional right that didn't exist with Roe
Sen. Lindsey Graham said Sunday that the nation’s top court “created a constitutional right that didn’t exist” when it ruled to affirm abortion rights in Roe v. Wade.
The South Carolina Republican’s comment came amid controversy over last week’s leaked draft decision penned by US Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito suggesting the court is on the cusp of overturning the landmark 1973 ruling legalizing a woman’s right to an abortion.

Graham said he agrees with Alito that Roe v. Wade was wrongly based on an inherent right to privacy.
