How much cash did Hochul pocket?
With the absurd and untrue comments previously posted, it’s obvious there is a large contingent of Anti-Logic people trolling this site. That’s sad.
The Governor, in a hush hush deal with the Seneca Nation is about to give exclusive gaming rights to the Indians in a deal that gives the state, 25% of the action. For the most part, that wipes out all other gaming venues in Central and Western NY. The Indians generate huge numbers as to joints like VD, forget about it. There will be no interest in saving a shrinking market that the owner said was a mistake and cost him money everyday. Sad to say, 1 of my favorite tracks to watch high caliber trotters in action may be gone soon. https://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-edit-casino-seneca-nation-of-indians-hochul-recused-rochester-20230615-m2truz3qjbg7tmuyhgjqe7s34e-story.html
Sorry. I did not know it was subscriber content. Times Union broke the story a few days ago. Governor Hulkul cut a secret deal with The Seneca Nation to expand their territory and give them the right to build a full service casino in downtown, Rochester. That would kick Largo, Finger Lakes and Batavia square in the sack. Vernon can forget any consideration from the state . The arrogance of the Governor and her deal was leaked in the last day of the Legislative year and she got a kick in the as from the legislators. She had the onions to keep the deal from the Mayor of Rochester until it was a done deal. Even though the people got a reprieve, unlike the long and arduous process you have for a private casino, including the site approval, with the Indians she needs nobody's approval. https://buffalonews.com/news/local/how-the-secretive-seneca-gaming-deal-stalled-in-albany/article_f054c4b4-0957-11ee-afc4-df2a005c76be.html
Wow, you are correct those tracks are toast.
Couldn’t read it, however it’s not good, what will this do to Batavia and Buffalo ?
Vernon is in the Oneida Nation gaming area. If what you write is true the tracks in Central West NYS (Canandaigua and maybe Batavia would be in the Cayuga or Senecas area. Probably another nation in Buffalo area. 25%. Who keeps the books. ?? They can keep anyone off their territory as it is a sovereign nation.
