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.

New York Attorney General Letitia James is calling on Gov. Kathy Hochul to stop blocking nursing home reforms that are designed to prevent understaffing.

Two laws that set minimum staffing levels for nursing homes were supposed to take effect in January. But a Gothamist report on Monday outlined how Hochul has issued multiple executive orders postponing their enforcement, citing a health care workforce shortage. Her most recent order was slated to last through the end of March.

“I’m hoping and urging that the governor of the state of New York lift the pause on the two bills that have been signed into law and that we address the staffing shortages at nursing homes,” James said Monday at a press conference alongside leaders of the health care union 1199 SEIU.
