Dear Governor-Elect Spitzer,
Please say no to gambling in the Catskills, it's a losing proposition for the community.
The out going administration
attempted to solve social
needs with gambling, that's a bankrupt philosophy, we can do better, we have to do better for our state to grow and prosper.
I hope you'll provide the leadership that has been so sorely missing in state government on this issue.
Good luck to you.
