I hate slots, but they need to be put in and I agree with you that the political forces in this state are a JOKE and a FRAUD. God i hate politics. I also agree that this cannot be NYRA's fault at this point...

No ****. How could it be NYRA's fault? MGM personally has fulfilled all questions that these phony boards have asked for, and NYRA has been raring to go.
The bankruptcy thing was an absolutely brilliant play by NYRA. These politicans are so ****ing stupid that they thought they had NYRA by the balls and thought they had to take the bailout money they offered them last month that came with more strings than a puppet show.
NYRA simply said no thanks. Politicians realized that they had a hell of lot more to lose with a NYRA race stoppage than NYRA did. Try explaining to all the constituents about the lost income and tax revenue and all the folks who lose jobs why its not "their fault" and it was mean old NYRA's.
NYRA stared them down and won.
