Ca$inos - Lure of Easy Money Hits Home in Albany

Two weeks ago, Gov. Cuomo and our state legislators approved the first passage for a NYS Constitutional Amendment to remove New York’s ban on non-Indian-run casinos. The measure authorized up to seven (7) Las Vegas-style casinos around the state, but didn’t specify locations. To amend the Constitution, the next State Legislature (to be elected this coming November) must also agree to pass the measure again in 2013 and then NYS voters must approve the  change and a Constitutional Amendment in a statewide referendum sometime in 2013.
