Off track betting seen as crime deterrent by district attorneys
Albany and Troy district attorneys Arnold W. Proskin and Con. G. Cholakis argued that legal horserooms for off track betting would be as ineffective as prohibition in curbing crime. They warned bookmakers would still operate on credit, undermining public safety while the act claims to fund government and curb illegal wagering. A municipality opting in would keep 80 percent of profits with the state receiving 20 percent. A separate case in North Greenbush charges Valente Gravel Inc. with failing to comply with a state water pollution control order enforced by Dr. Hollis S. Ingraham. A penalty hearing is set for April 30, requiring an approved waste-water facilities report and final plans to intercept and treat wastes discharged into Wynantskill Creek.
