NYRA is no different from any business with cash-flow problems. In this regard, it really isn't relevant who's not paying them. It's really a simple question: either NYRA and its board can be completely dependent upon the State to solve their short-term cash problem, or they can try to address their cash issues through other means. Having fought as hard as they did for the franchise, I can't believe that the only answer to their current situation is to shut it down if the State doesn't come through with the cash.
