Mayor Bloomberg today addressed the New York City Off Track Betting
(OTB) Corporation's Board of Directors during an emergency meeting
where the Board voted to implement a closure plan. Although OTB's
revenues exceed its operating costs by $129 million per year, State
law requires that it provide millions more annually to Albany, which
will cause the Corporation to run cash negative in June.
