Albany Firm Plan to Run Off-Track Betting Nixed
The State Off-Track Betting Commission rejected Greene County and U.S. Data Corp. bid to run off-track horse and numbers betting, calling the plan a hastily prepared front for a private company. The commission emphasized municipalities must control legalized bookmaking and warned such fronts are unacceptable. The agency also subpoenaed U.S. Data Corp. records as an Albany executive faced the Organized Crime Task Force.
