Cuomo Signs NYRA Reorganization Bill
Let the nightmare begin:

Cuomo is finishing a fight his father, Gov. Mario Cuomo, had with NYRA a generation ago. In recent weeks, the administration has proposed a plan to sell or lease more than 100 acres of land at Belmont Park and Cuomo still hopes to get a full-scale, Las Vegas-style casino approved at Aqueduct.

Sounds like another political son avenging his daddy...now where have I heard that story before, only on a much larger world stage?

"It’s going to be hard to get people they want for a non-paying job with all the scrutiny they’re going to have to undergo. Under normal circumstances, nobody knew who was on the NYRA board. Now, they’ll be in the spotlight,’’ Pretlow said.
|
Hey, why don't we go with Stillriledup's idea and just put hungry recent college grads on the board? Couldn't hurt, right?

Interestingly, the NYRA takeover by the state will also essentially leave the state monitoring itself when it comes to the operations of the three biggest Thoroughbred tracks in New York. A financial oversight board – chaired by Cuomo’s chief budget advisor – that has been critical of NYRA operations in recent years remains legally in place. And NYRA will still be heavily regulated by the state Racing and Wagering Board, which next year gets rolled into a larger agency that will oversee all gambling-related activities in New York. And the Legislature has not only oversight responsibilities involving NYRA, but will likely have to deal with financial matters of what now becomes a government-run gambling venture.

Oh, well, now that sounds promising. The state was such a valuable partner on a more limited scale in the past...what could possibly go wrong now that they're diving into the deep end of the pool? Hell, they didn't even notice that the takeout was too high...by the way, who from the state was fired over that major lapse in oversight? Nobody? Good to know...maybe Fredric Uberall Dicker will write an article about how Cuomo let something like that slide...

Or a typical hack politician with a not-so-secret routing number. You know me and my love affair with cynicism, but I bet he farts grease bubbles.

Careful now, the Italian in me almost took offense to that remark... 
But then I realized what you really meant...

You are still here......for the life on me, why?
And no one post more stupid crap that you do.
What a shallow, insignificant little excuse of a man you are.
Don't you have people to slander elsewhere?
You and your decrepit old mentor Roger?
Tell me, which on of you if the puppet?
I can't see whose hand is up the other one making the lips move.
Maybe it's a mutual thing......

I have no dog in whatever fight you're picking, but it gets old reading your tripe in every thread I click on. Please take it to PM or leave the board. After all, you've said that there are better boards than this, so why are you still here?

Look at this Andy guy...fancies himself a horseplayer's advocate. King of California. Man of the peeps. Lookin' out for the lil' guy...WTG babycakes...
BTW, why is it they bet so little at Santa Anita? 11 races and only $14M? Belmont blew them outta the watah Saturday with the same number of races AND less horses...
Any why is Indulto afraid to use his real name? Doesn't he have a blog on some other site where he actually uses the name INDULTO?
I don't use my real name for obvious reasons...crackpots like Andymays are lurking about out there...
Stay classy Andy...you're a shining example of how not to act when you're striving for that brass ring...at least Indulto has some manners...

And doesn't Andy realize using the word "homo" is considered a slur against gay people? Is Andy a bigot? If Tom's a racist (and he's not) according to Andy, what does that make Andy? Certainly very insensitive, at the very least.
If I were a horseplayer advocate involved in some manner or another with upper levels of the racing industry, especially in high-level jurisdictions such as Southern California, would I want to be throwing around and calling people "homo" in public? And if I were a high level executive in the Southern California racing industry, would I want to give any credibility to a guy who freely calls other people he doesn't even know such an unsavory name?
Andy, you should be very ashamed of yourself for acting in such a manner. I would suggest anyone dealing with this man in the future think twice about what he just wrote.

Not to worry, Andy.
If I sued you, I would be admitting your words have some significance.
They do not.
You are a shallow, bitter little man with a wise mouth and they don't come any more insignificant than you.
Your classless remarks say far more about your lack of character than I ever could.
When you include me in the list of CJ, OTM Al and PA, you pay me the highest compliment. Pretty impressive people on that one.
You poor sap, you can't even insult anyone correctly.
