Two lawmakers leading the charge on expansion of casino licensing in New York took the stage at City and State’s inaugural “Trailblazers in Casinos and Sports Betting” event, just days before formal applications were due for three new downstate casino licenses.
State Sen. Joseph P. Addabbo Jr. and Assembly Member Carrie Woerner, members of the governor’s committee on racing, gaming and wagering and staunch advocates of the city’s igaming and brick and mortar gambling industries, both were keynote speakers at the event held at HK Hall in Manhattan’s Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood Wednesday evening.
“We are leading the nation in the gaming and wagering space,” Woerner told attendees.
