Please return the Video Lottery Terminal appropriations for Hamburg to the budget. The town needs the money to cover the costs incurred while hosting the racino. It is very unlikely that the town recovers these costs with increased business from visitors to the racino; most out of towners don't even know that there is a town outside of the fairgrounds, much less go there to spend money. They just go back to the thruway and leave. If the state receives the revenue from the racino it should reimburse us for the costs.

This aid is necessary for our hosting community of Hamburg!
"VLT Aid is money paid by NYS to communities that host a "racino" casino with video terminals for gambling. It comes from the revenue generated by the video terminals that is paid to the state."

Can’t afford a tax raise. I am a senior citizen and would have to leave my home that I have lived in for 36 years. We have to deal with all the traffic that is because of Hamburg Casino.

Property requires resources from numerous agencies in the Town of Hamburg for various emergencies and daily needs requiring taxpayer expenditures. Property is a profit making entity and should pay it's fair share as a good neighbor.

Please restore the video lottery terminal host fee. As a long term Hamburg, NY resident and a member of the Hamburg American Legion SAL Squadron 527, I can assure you this restoration is much needed in helping to continue financially supporting this wonderful town of Hamburg, New York!

Governor Cuomo, These funds are very important to our local government. Please rescind the claw back. Our municipal services support this location and we deserve the funding. My vote counts.
PS- If we are supporting Puerto Rico, why aren’t we supporting Hamburg, New York? It happens to be where your lieutenant governor was born, right down the street from where we live on the lake.

Stop wasting our tax dollars on you stupid projects. If you want to save the world get a job at the UN and use your money, not ours
