“We don’t have casinos, so instead we developed racinos. But what’s a racino?” asks Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, pausing for effect and smiling. “It’s a casino with an R.”
Really, it gets laughs. A few, anyway.
But there’s a serious point behind his quip. The state has found an end run around our constitutional ban on casino gambling."
