Governor Cuomo's office introduced a proposed Amendment to the New York State Consitution which would expand legalized State Controlled Gaming in New York.
The Resolution proposes to add eight words to the State Constitution's provisions against gambling by adding the words "and except casino gaming regulated by the state".

Governor Cuomo met with the editors and writers of the New York Times yesterday and came out swinging hard in support of the his proposed Convention Center adjacent to Aqueduct Raceway and Casino. He stated it was a no risk venture for New Yorkers ("Mr. Cuomo promised that the Queens project would "cost the State of New York bubkes,'"). Interestingly, Gov. Cuomo indicated that in the past he would not have been supportive of Indian Gaming, Casino Gaming or VLTs at Tracks. But, he posited that those forms of gambling already exist in New York. For a man ambivalent about Gaming in New York, he appears to be Gaming’s strongest proponent.

However, it appears that opinion polls are showing weak support for the Convention Center.
