Teamsters local 707 president Kevin mccaffrey keeps the infidels out of Nassau otb when there USA stakes race at Santa Anita
At a news conference in Babylon Village, Suffolk County Legis. Kevin McCaffrey (R-Lindenhurst) said restaurants should not have a curfew because their environments were better controlled than private gatherings, where the spread of the virus had happened.
"We want to make sure that we’re keeping people in safe environments where there is some law and order, where the restaurant owners and bar owners are making sure that the people go by the rules and regulations," McCaffrey said.
You may find ultraviolet light sources in bars and restaurants to kill airborne pathogens, but you will not find same at Nassau otb branches
Stop scratching on holidays

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.
