Admission of failure, incompetence and futility was apparently first thing on the holiday agenda in the state capital on Monday. Before lunch, the temporary extension of the New York Racing Association franchise, due to expire on Wednesday, was again extended temporarily until Feb. 13. Among other loose ends still in the winds of negotiations, the upholstery of seats for the eventual beneficiaries of patronage awards, and – after lo these many, many months, the award of the contract to a company that would operate the video lottery casino at Aqueduct.
This is an example of the benefit that accrues to the taxpayers of this state as a result of totally incompetent government. In the private sector, these people would never hold jobs that require results and would no doubt live on public assistance. Come to think of it, this is a form of public assistance.
