New York’s gambling-addicted politicians and their wealthy donors are embroiled in yet another sleazy scandal involving pay-for-play schemes and shady connections. Governor Kathy Hochul, who already has a long history of unscrupulous dealings, was recently spotted cozying up to billionaire Steve Cohen, owner of the New York Mets and aspiring gambling magnate. Cohen has poured millions of dollars into his bid for a license to build a casino next to Citi Field in New York City, including hefty donations to Hochul’s campaign and other Democratic Party committees. This is just the tip of the iceberg, as other wealthy tycoons, such as SL Green’s Marc Holliday and Genting NY-Resorts World, are also competing for a piece of the lucrative gambling industry. However, casinos are a terrible investment for the public, as they consistently fail to generate profits and increase crime rates and addiction. Instead, New York’s embrace of gambling is purely for the benefit of corrupt politicians and their wealthy donors at the expense of the people they are supposed to serve.
