And the tights of all secured by ny const art 1 sec 3
are enforced you are simply frothing like your predecessor holy cuomo

jackson,
Since day one as Governor, I said I would listen to New Yorkers, work collaboratively with others and make every decision based through one lens: what is best for New Yorkers. That's exactly what I've done since being sworn in, and we are now approaching a moment of great possibility.
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.As we enter this New Year, New York is due for a comeback the likes of which this country has never seen. Together, we will lead that comeback.
Tomorrow, January 5, at 1:00pm, I will deliver my 2022 State of the State address and will lay out our administration's vision to propel New York into a brighter future. Join me live at governor.ny.gov.
Ever Upward,
Governor Kathy Hochul
