State Senate GOP leader Dean Skelos was not alone in questioning Gov. David Paterson’s decision to award Aqueduct Entertainment Group the Aqueduct contract. Skelos is now calling for a hearing to uncover the selection process, one that was done behind closed doors.

"The governor’s selection of AEG raises more questions than answers," he said. "After seeing reports about possible political considerations as well as reports that AEG may have been the lowest-rated bidder by the Lottery Division, the public has every reason to be skeptical."

Not knowing the situation as intimately as some, we will not pass judgment on the Governor. But there is certainly no harm in shedding light on the process, regardless of the outcome.
