New York lawmakers believe Western Regional OTB executives’ buyouts are illegal

Two New York lawmakers are accusing former Western Regional Off-Track Betting Corp. (OTB) executives of accepting illegal buyout packages.

The three former executives in question – Henry Wojtaszek, Jacquelyne Leach, and William White – have all stepped down amid separate allegations of financial mismanagement.

State Sen. Sean Ryan and Assemblywoman Monica Wallace sent a memo to the Attorney General and Inspector General, urging them to investigate the package that is believed to be worth $500,000, according to the lawmakers.

In a five-page memo to the AG and Inspector General, Ryan and Wallace laid out the reasons why executives at Western Regional OTB – which notably operates Batavia Downs and offers NY sports betting and Class II gambling machines – were given illegal severance packages.
