CHAPTER 3

I know Chapter 3 comes on the heels of Chapter 2 but Chapter 3 kind of finishes off SAVE. Tonight’s Council meeting may have finished off the SAVE groups plot to stymie the Casino & Raceway’s plans to expand.  Speaker after speaker played the same tune as in previous Council meetings (they don’t want the Racino to expand, period).  However, much to the chagrin of the SAVE group, the City’s  outside legal expert in  SEQRA cases  told the Council and those in attendance and online during a Q & A that any lawsuit to become lead agency would fail and cost the City a lot of money for basically nothing.  He stated that the City filed an Article 78 in a similar case in 2006 and lost and he also commented that the laws have gotten tougher against Cities in these cases.

Also our esteemed DPW Commissioner asked Skip Carlson ‘how much time does a customer stay and play the slots’?  This is another gem from the lips of the Commissioner.


I know it’s never over until the fat lady sings but I thought I did hear Robert Davis singing ‘We All Live in a Yellow Submarine’, as he left the building.
