If NYRA is correct then explain your posts. The state isnt so broke that it cant spare the $17 million dollars it owes. The idea that some hospital will close because NYRA gets paid what it is owed is pretty much nonsensical. If the state REALLY wanted to do what is in the best interests of NYRA, the state, NYCOTB and ultimately the citizens it would have disbanded NYCOTB and turned the off track betting rights to NYC over to NYRA.
But like the VLT debacle, they continue to let petty political corruption get in the way of progress and profitability. Racing in NY should not only be a strong, vibrant industry, it with the combo of VLT's and an increasingly better racing program should be churning out money for the state. Instead NYRA is out of money, NYCOTB is totally paralyzed and there hasn't been a dime of tax revenue produced by the Aqu VLTs. And every finger should be pointed directly at the state of NY's politcal bosses. They made this mess, now they don't want to clean it up.
