No More OTB in NYC? Last Minute Reprieve Could Happen
OTB or Off Track Betting has announced it will cease to exist in New York City as of this Friday December 3, 2010. But could the troubled 40-year-old betting firm get a last minute reprieve?
Senate Democratic Leader John Sampson of Brooklyn will be calling the Senate back into session on Tuesday in order to consider a bill that would save the OTB. Any shutdown would result in 800 employees losing their jobs.
New York Governor David Paterson has also stepped in to try and find a last minute solution.
