I think you mean Question 3. 4 is to give workers sick leave.

Thank you; fixed.

I can't believe you'd say this. After all, look how great Atlantic City is doing with their casinos.

(I am very pissed off that President Governor Cuomo pushed casinos through in NY.)

Bleah. Yes, this is exactly what I'm afraid of.

(Though I think it's a terrible idea regardless, one of the casinos would be placed on the precise street I take to get to work. I would likely not enjoy this...)

Yes, exactly.
