1.6.21 - Cuomo backs mobile sports betting
'Gov. Andrew Cuomo has endorsed mobile sports betting, signaling a potential new revenue source for the state as it seeks to plug enormous budget deficits brought on by Covid-19.'
'The announcement, made during a briefing on Wednesday, marks a major shift for Cuomo, who has previously held that a constitutional amendment would be needed to allow sports betting outside of a casino. It also shows a willingness from the state to not rely completely on federal relief from the incoming Biden administration.'
