New York Casino

Well, it’s not in New York City, but it’s still in New York, so I’m happy.  Even if I no longer live in the Empire State.  In a reversal of a policy that originally was implemented precisely to prevent a casino from being built in the Catskills mountains, the proximity rule for Indian tribes to own/operate casinos has been rescinded.  No longer must a casino be located close to the reservation.  This opens the door for certain New York tribes whose reservations are not near the Catskills to open a casino there.  Even Congressmen are saying this is so, not just this blogger.  Check it out.
