 N.Y. Comptroller writes scathing letter to lottery board - Lottery Post
Posted: 9/18/2006 10:45:01 PM New York's top fiscal officer is warning a state agency that its delay in approving a VLT casino contract for Aqueduct racetrack is costing the state needed revenues and risking bankruptcy for the New York Racing Association.
Absent approval of the agreement, the development of a VLT facility at Aqueduct and its promised revenue for the state's general fund and for the repayment of loans and deficiency appropriations will not occur and NYRA will face bankruptcy," Hevesi, a Democrat, wrote.
NYRA backers, though, have also said a bankruptcy proceeding could help its claim that it owns the land at Aqueduct, Belmont, and Saratoga; the state has insisted the land is no longer controlled by NYRA once the franchise expires at the end of 2007.
