REV. FLAKE DEFENDS STATE’S PICK OF AEG TO RUN AQUEDUCT SLOTS…DURING CHURCH SERVICE
Rev. Floyd Flake, who has been at the center of the controversial decision by Gov. David Paterson to award the slots contract at Aqueduct to AEG, defended the company he has a small stake in.
After the service, the Reverend would not make any comments to the press and drove off in his Mercedes-Benz. There are a lot of comments that could be made on this, but we’ll leave that up to you. Something doesn’t smell right here.
Read it at the New York Daily News
Then come back to the Paulick Report and let us know what you think

I believe that the other bidders have reason to be upset. The entire process went in a haphazard fashion, with apparently changing selection criteria. The Penn National group ought to be particularly upset. I expect that court proceedings will delay the entire process further.

I would love to hear how he fit that into the sermon!

I guess he didn’t take a vow of poverty and he’ll never do a sermon on tyhe sins of gambling !

Another Eliot Spitzer dividend.
They never stop.
The Elko Nevada casino that Flake’s concern runs has been reported as decrepid.
Which means no rennovations to AQ will be necessary. Just wheel the slots in and open the pineapple juice.

What a gang of bandits Gov. Peterson picked to run the Aqueduct Casino. or the so call AEG, no wander the other group of Bidders are mad.
I can’t believe the law will let him get away with this, not only was this AEG organization outbid, the good ( Dr.) Governor Peterson will allow them time to find the extra $100.000.000.00. to get started. This is ridiculous if it pass we can kiss goodby to horse racing at the Big A.
