Default Re: Are there enough NYC poker players who care to...

I think Bruno and Silver would be the easy part. They're politicians. You just need to show them what's in it form them, like bucket fulls of tax revenue to fund their pet projects without raising taxes, lots of jobs for their constituents, lots of money for contractors (to use for campaign contributions). You get the picture. And since once you've sold them, the rest of the legislature will fall in line, you don't have to do too much with the other legislators.

The election would be tougher. There are still more than a few people around with broomsticks up their rectums that don't like gambling. But between the boom in poker, and the general rise in popularity of casinos, the tide may have turned.

If I'm reading that right, it says changing the state constitution takes a majority vote in both houses in two legislative sessions followed by a statewide referendum. I'd say that's a pretty tall order...getting Silver's and Bruno's whims to align on simple issues is hard enough.
