A consolidation proposed last year has taken effect. The Racing and Wagering Board and the Lottery are one. Don't know what it means..Maybe one less executive director job to appoint to ?
Meanwhile this year's argument is who gets to pick the locations of the Governor's proposed new non-Indian casinos.
You would think Rochester would get one for the LG....Sullivan County for all the people longing for the Borscht Belt and Henny Youngman....and maybe the Capital District so the Legislature will have something to do when they are not acquiescing to the will of the Governor.

I don't know for sure what the balance sheets look like, but at one time OTB was in the headlines for being in the red. It is a safe bet this move is necessary to funnel lucrative lottery money into the pockets of pensioned up politically employed pony racing people are are coming up short on their balance sheet.
