Miller: Approved Bill Will Save 250 Union and 40 Non-Union Jobs at Vernon Downs

Statement from Assemblyman Brian Miller (R,C-New Hartford) on Vernon Downs

“I am pleased to have been a co-sponsor of Assembly bill A.6144-A, which will correct an oversight and create uniformity within the casino industry in New York State. Vernon Downs has been a staple in the community and this will provide the employees and their families some sense of stability,” said Miller whose district encompasses Vernon Downs. “The direct economic impact from the Racino, hotel, harness racing and ancillary agricultural businesses is substantial to the local economy. Thank you to everyone for their collaborative effort and hard work to get this legislation passed in the last days of session.”
