I thought it was a requirement that criminals work at casinos, especially the state revenuers.
Fox in the hen house.
Part of the reason why former prisoners end up back in prison again is the difficulty getting work after they are released.
Next she will hire counterfeiters to oversee the state treasury
Anarchy makes tyranny easier.
The blackjack dealer made a killing at the casino last night - no, literally- three guys that claimed he was dealing from the bottom of the deck …
The problem with Hochul, as with all top tier NY democrats, is that she can never be removed by an election. The only way a top tier democrat has ever been removed from NY government since the 90s is by scandal. The threshold for scandal is so high, that nothing is actually scandalous anymore.
What could go wrong?
WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG???
Let Hochul hire them to work at her house and the State house. She can trade in her state police detail for a bunch of ex-cons.
Maybe she can have theft and robbery convicts as well as a few rapists work in a casino. That will definitely help business.
It would have been really nice if the Post told us what the actual bill is titled so we could look at it instead of just taking their word on it.
Criminals working with/near large amounts of money.
What could go wrong?/s
Section 2: Removes the automatic disqualification of an applicant for a key gaming license, and maintains the discretion of the Commission to deny or issue such license.
Section 3: Exempts any non-gaming vendor providing goods or service valued at less than twenty-five thousand dollars in a twelve-month peri- od from licensing requirements.
Well, let’s see.
I just renewed my license to practice architecture for the 20th time (every two years). Part of the renewal application requires that I verify that I have not committed nor am I under indictment for having committed a felony of any kind. Also, I am not in arrears in paying child support. If I answer in the affirmative for either question, I would be denied my license and forbidden to practice. The only relief from a lifetime ban would be to go through a tortuous appeals process, not unlike going before a skeptical parole board.
It does make me wonder who or what circumstance was in play when the New York legislature decided that this was an issue that cried out for reform. I shudder to think about the number of man hours devoted to crafting the bill that would correct this injustice. I guess the Legislature has nothing more pressing on the docket. The solution may be that the Legislature meets every two years for a couple of months and then returns to whatever they consider gainful employment.
is Hoochie pushing this or are the casinos?
Just pandering to and rewarding her base.
What could possibly go wrong?
Apparently, there are already enough criminals working in NY government.
