Racing Association To Hire Firm That Cleared It
By Associated Press | August 2, 2007
ALBANY — The New York Racing Association is trying to hire the independent monitor that helped it avoid a federal indictment in 2005 despite opposition from the racing group's creditors, who call it an unnecessary $125,000-amonth commitment. NYRA wants to hire the law firm Getnick & Getnick of Manhattan without seeking competitive bids.
