It has taken all this time and Albany is still dicking around with VLT. Does not inspire a lot of confidence as to the prospect of a final resolution in the next 30 days (which includes Christmas).

I don't rule out a shutdown, and believe that if NYRA isn't given the extension that they were awarded they should stand their ground, but I just don't believe it will happen. Call me naive, but I believe that NYRA is completely in the right, and Bruno is acting against the best interests of the involved parties, and ultimately this will be resolved in the proper manner.
