"These metrics keep us on target, level the playing field for all bidders, and ensure New Yorkers feel the benefit of the revenue. While we may be in the final weeks of session, we should strive to pass this bill & live up to our commitments."

"Commuters inch forward on long commutes marred by aging infrastructure. Expanded downstate gaming will return New York to its mantle as the greatest state in the union."

“@JGPretlow & @SenJoeAddabbo said they just want to accelerate the timetable to generate thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in additional revenue for the state.

“We have to move. There are 5,000 jobs on hold — minimally,”  said Senator Addabbo.

“I’ve been trying to get the process moving,” said @JGPretlow.

“It’s taking too long. We’re leaving $2 billion on the table. “Why are we stringing this along? We’re spinning our wheels here and would merely have to expand to offer live card table games.”

“Two state lawmakers (@JGPretlow & @SenJoeAddabbo) say it’s time to roll the dice on awarding casino licenses in the New York City area and are backing a bill that would speed up the current much-criticized timetable.”

"Our bill will get us back on course with a few simple stopgaps in the process. New York would have to make decisions by March 2025, giving any winner two years to resolve any land use issues."

"What’s as important is the consistent revenue this will create every single year. @ResortsWorldNYC already pledged to add $1 billion in new, incremental revenue on top of the average $700 million in taxes they already pay."

"The revenue created by these casinos will be a game changer for our communities. We aren’t talking about a drop in the bucket — it’s a major shot in the arm for a state staring down a $9.5 billion gap next fiscal year."

"Black and brown families are leaving the downstate region in droves because few career opportunities exist. Expanded downstate gaming will return New York to its mantle as the greatest state in the union."

"@SenJoeAddabbo and I's commitment is to see these casino licensing guardrails enacted before we conclude the people’s business this June. We must get this done because New Yorkers are counting on much more than blackjack or roulette tables."

ASSEMBLY MEMBER PRETLOW: It’s Time for Albany to Get Back on Track to Create Casino Gaming Revenue...

[Empire Report @EMPIREREPORTNY]

"We made a promise to New Yorkers 2 years ago that the approval process for casinos would be efficient. Instead of generating new revenue without lifting taxes on the middle-class, we have been repeatedly told “wait ‘til next year.” -@JGPretlow

"The Gaming Commission’s announcement to push back license awards until the end of 2025 means the tens of thousands of construction and permanent jobs promised by every bidder will not materialize for another two years — at best." (2/2)

“The implications of @ResortsWorldNYC's $1.7B tax pledge are far-reaching. Beyond the immediate financial boon to the state, the move could catalyze a series of developments to create jobs, boost tourism, and lead to further investment in the area.”

[New Yorkers for Responsible Gaming Inc. @NYforGaming]

“@ResortsWorldNYC came into this neighborhood and gave something back. So many of the enrichment things that we take for granted are now in our communities because of the contributions of Resorts World.”
