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.
Trump rails against Ilhan Omar, ‘the Squad’ during raucous rally
President Trump railed against “the Squad” during a rally on Wednesday night, prompting chants of “send her back” when he mentioned Rep. Ilhan Omar.
Trump skewered the four freshman congresswomen at his rally in Greenville, North Carolina — delivering an attack on Somali-born Minnesota representative Omar.
“And obviously and importantly Omar has a history of launching vicious anti-Semitic screed,” said Trump, recounting some of her remarks many perceive to be anti-Semitic.
His statement fired up his followers at East Carolina University, who burst into a chant of “send her back, send her back.”
“And she talked about the ‘evil Israel’ and it’s ‘all about the Benjamins,’” the president added, referring to a tweet from Omar, where she claimed support for Israel in many political circles was “all about the Benjamins.”
Her comments were immediately condemned by fellow lawmakers, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Trump also criticized the other members of the Squad — Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley — at the sold-out rally.
The president referred to Ocasio-Cortez simply as “Cortez.”
“I don’t have time to go with three different names. I’ll call her Cortez,” said Trump before describing how the congresswoman claimed migrants at the border were being housed in “concentration camps.”
About Tlaib, Trump said she “used the f-word to describe the presidency and the president. That’s not nice, even for me.”
Trump jokingly questioned if Pressley is related to Elvis, before asserting, “She thinks that people with the same skin color all need to think the same.”
But other than railing against the lefty congresswomen, Trump actually praised the House Democrats, who voted earlier Wednesday against articles of impeachment.
- “I want to thank those Democrats because many of them voted for us. The vote was totally lopsided,” he said.
