Quote of the Day

“At each turn, our state leaders abdicated their public duty, failed to impose ethical restraints and focused on political gain at a cost of millions to New Yorkers. Shamefully, the public’s best interest was a matter of militant indifference to them.” — New York State Inspector General Joseph Fisch, on the process whereby Aqueduct Entertainment Group — which included Las Vegas-based Navegante Group and the Rev. Floyd Flake — was juiced into a potentially mega-lucrative racino contract. That contract has now been rebid to Genting Bhd., which also has big plans in London.
