Vernon Downs pink slips 3200 employees

Posted by Train Dude on Wed May 31 17:22:15 2023

Vernon Downs, a casino, hotel and race track has announced 3200 layoffs starting later this summer. By December all 3200 employees will be out of work. Why? Governor Cuomo had given t h e casino a $22 tax break to help the hotel meet its payroll. Governor Hoople has announced t h at she b will end the subsidy. Bad news for the people upstate. Bad news for the state which received $86 million in revenues. Also Bad news for the state who will now pay unemployment for for the 3200 employees thrown out of work.

That should have read $22 million and not $22

That's a shame. Horse racing is a dying sport.

And a great sport. But Vernon Downs is a harness track which is completely different from a real thoroughbred track

Instead of going back only 3 years with your necroposting, find some posts on Subtalk, or even horsecar talk?
