We need to legalize mobile sports betting and keep that tax revenue right here in New York. Tell Governor Cuomo and the Legislature to Bet on NY!

IMPORTANT SPONSORED MESSAGE FROM SAVE NY RENEWABLES: Albany needs to pass the New York Renewables Protection act to ensure that renewable energy made in New York stays in New York. The Sustain, Attract, Value, and Enhance (SAVE) NY Renewables coalition is made up of businesses, advocacy groups, lawmakers, and environmentalists who support existing renewable energy operations in NY. By keeping New York-made renewable power in-state, we can fight climate change and protect jobs. Support the New York Renewables Protection Act to maintain New York’s stature as a national leader in combating climate change and advance Gov. Cuomo’s climate agenda.
