My collegues and I in the Senate have convened in Albany three times since the summer to work toward a solution, but the Governor and the Assembly have failed to prioritize this matter.
Governor Spitzer chose to ignore previous recommendations, abruptly restarting the selection process and then creating a plan that doesn�t work.
We have adopted a plan to preserve the historic character of Saratoga as the premiere racing destination, while reinvorating the racing franchise (click here for more on the Senate's plan).
If you agree that leadership is required and that the Governor and the Assembly need to come back to Albany to clear the uncertainty that clouds the future of thoroughbred racing, please "join the fight" and sign my online petition below.
