Dems urge Hochul to block 72% tax hit on NYC’s new casino

Queens lawmakers urge Gov. Hochul to intervene in a tax plan that would push Resorts World New York City’s slot revenues to a 72% tax, formed by a 56% slot tax plus a 16% separate racing obligation. The Gaming Commission says the racing payment is not a tax, and Hochul says tax rates do not include racing obligations. Lawmakers warn the uncertainty could jeopardize Resorts World’s planned $4 billion expansion, along with thousands of jobs and opportunities for minority contractors.

Dr. Steven Barker, an expert in equine drug testing, believes the amount of meloxicam found in Forte's blood was due to environmental contamination. Forte will prepare for the June 10 GI Belmont S.
