He says there is a conceptual agreement on the state budget between his office and leaders from the state Legislature.<br /><br /><br /><br />"We have a conceptual agreement on all issues, I think it's fair to say," Cuomo said.<br /><br /><br /><br />That deal will include legislation to legalize online sports betting he said. The state is opting to contract directly with mobile sports vendors (or a single vendor) rather than doing it through casinos, Cuomo said.<br /><br /><br /><br />"We'll contract with them, and we'll make the money. We don't need the casinos as a middleman," Cuomo said.<br /><br /><br /><br />But ...<br /><br /><br />Remember that it's not a deal until the bills have been printed. They may have a "conceptual agreement," but that doesn't mean we have a budget deal on paper, chiseled into stone.<br /><br /><br /><br />Lawmakers are expected to meet later today to review the agreement. Then, maybe we'll see some bills introduced tonight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-40456860722835648982021-04-05T16:46:55.726-04:002021-04-05T16:46:55.726-04:00Lol.
