Dear Peter Sullivan Esq., member of the

bar of the State of New York and Peter D Siegel (w.siegel@bhpp.com)

Why are not all Christians treated equally in the Christian State of NY?  We will consider aethists and all others to be of no moment to simply the question and be consistent with the apparents views of our Roman Catholic Governor, Andrew Cuomo.

Nassau OTB, a public benefit corporation, closes on Roman Catholic Easter Sunday and Palm Sunday in preference to Greek Orthodox Easter Sunday and Palm Sunday despite NY Const. Art. 1, Sec 3.

Some questions just don't have answers?

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.

another Fordham lawyer proudly supporting the Catholic State of New York which closes its public benefit corporation, Nassau OTB, on Roman Catholic Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday in preference to Greek Orthodox Easter Sunday and Palm Sunday. The Greek believers sometimes get the benefit of the coincidence of the holy days as determined by the Julian and Gregorian calendars.

Nassau OTB closes only on Roman Catholic Easter Sunday and Palm Sunday in preference to Greek Orthodox Easter Sunday in all years that the Gregorian and Julian Calendars do not coincide.

All people are not created equal?  Nassau OTB like NY State has its religious preferences.
