Andrew Yang Wants to Legalize Casinos in New York City

Yang promised to allow casino construction on Governor's Island. He believes that this project could become one of the drivers of economic recovery in the region.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes.
