“I appreciate the efforts of my Senate colleagues and staff for all the work that produces the Senate One-House Budget, especially in terms of including mobile sports betting and the expediting process for New York State’s three unused downstate casino licenses. This brings us one step closer to giving people a way to responsibly, legally and safely place bets from anywhere in New York. I look forward to the productive budget negotiations with the Assembly and Governor's administration, as we focus on providing New Yorkers with the best possible mobile sports betting product and a witnessing of increased revenue and educational funding, while also expanding problem gambling measures and job opportunities.”
