Dear Boston,
It has been a busy two weeks since the November 2 election as we’ve charted the course for our administration’s transition.
I am honored to share that at 12:00 p.m. ET today, I’ll be sworn into the succession of Boston mayors inside the City Council Chamber. As I step onto the trail blazed so brightly by Mayor Janey, I am excited to invite all of Boston’s residents to join us as we march into our shared possibility.
You’re invited to join us by streaming the full ceremony at Boston.gov — we’ll start at noon sharp.
I look forward to partnering with every neighborhood, community, and resident as we deliver on Boston’s promise to work for everyone.Thanks for the help. The item’s below. I’d be happy to mail you a copy, if you give me a mailing address.Claude SolnikLong Island Business News2150 Smithtown Ave.Ronkonkoma, NY 11779-7348Home > LI Confidential > Stop scratching on holidaysStop 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.
Thank you for everything, and I hope that you will join us at noon today.
Sincerely,
Michelle Wu
Mayor-Elect of the City of Boston
