A judge threw out a legal challenge to the wording of a referendum to go to voters next month that would authorize casino gambling’s expansion in New York state.
Judge Richard Platkin of state Supreme Court in Albany dismissed the suit today. He rejected claims that the ballot’s wording was slanted in favor of the measure and that the state Board of Elections violated an open-meetings law in adopting it.
