Former Senator Alfonse D’Amato received a no-bid contract from the New York City OTB. The one-year $144k deal was one of three criticized by a state comptroller audit for being handed out with no “written justification showing the need” and no sign that OTB staff couldn’t perform the work. But don’t worry, former OTB Chairman David Cornstein says “no favoritism was involved.” |NYP|
