Rensselaer County Urged to Act on Off-Track Betting
Rensselaer County Legislature faces a June 9 vote on Local Law III to authorize off-track betting and to ask the state commission to approve the county as a participating municipality. The measure aims to channel 80 percent of betting revenue to the county, with 20 percent to the state, and would take effect 45 days after approval pending a possible referendum. If passed, state authorization could come by early September, enabling revenue plans for 1971.
