Cuomo to decide on casinos in next several weeks

[hrmjustin]

NEWBURGH – Governor Cuomo apparently in no rush to sign legislation putting the question on the November ballot. While in Newburgh on Thursday, the governor said he will address the bill when it comes across his desk.

“It is a piece of legislation that I sponsored; it was passed by the legislature”, Cuomo noted. “They pass hundreds of bills during the legislative session and they group the bills that they send and they send them in batches and then I review those bills and sign some and veto others. I just haven’t gotten that bill yet. It will be coming down in the next several weeks.”

Several developers have plans on the drawing boards to build gaming-resort facilities in the Catskills region and they are counting on the public referendum to be approved.

3. They should close these damned casinos IMO

We've got a few of them around where I live and they are not helping the economy best I can tell.

They treat their employees like crap and you just know that they get paid crap as well.

I cannot tell you how many people I've seen that have literally gone broke going to these dumps.

It is sad and sickening at the same time.

We don't need casinos in America IMO.

Get rid of all of them and don't just think twice about this legislation to approve it, simply just say NO to it!

4. I agree we don't need more of them.

These casinos are magnets for all sorts of crime, from drug addiction to prostitution and everything else in-between.

We really do not need this in America!

6. That is just so sad. Families are broken because of these places.

I think this question will be on the ballot in Nov here. I will vote against the casinos.
