I wish I had a dime for every casino that has been proposed in New York State--and that was never built. They were all going to be the salvation of every failing municipality and neighborhood in the state.
Communities either don't want them or are split on it. The one at Belmont Racetrack has been fought over for a few years now with the community split. When the big money keeps coming in form special interest groups, the community gets screwed and the casinos will get built. Just my take on what will happen. I hope it doesn't.
