As for Eric Adams, he is just another political hack who is right in the pocket of many involved in AEG and those promoting this group such as Floyd Flake and Malcolm Smith. As a former cop, I would love to know what Adams credentials are for being the Senate Racing and Wagering Committee Chairman.
Unfortunately, it is hard to believe that this group cares about racing at all and shoving through a group of politically connected criminals for the sake of getting this up and running does not sound like a plan for the long term success of racing. The real problem is that since Silver does not have this group in his pocket he is opposing it. The need for a legitimate operator should be imperitive here, but until these political hacks are bounced, it is unlikely to happen.
