Catskill Village President Vincent Seeley organized the meeting, and he was joined by State Senator Cecilia Tkaczyk and Assemblyman Pete Lopez. New York voters on Nov. 5 consider a measure to allow more casinos, one possibly in the Catskills. Jessica Mosler in The Daily Mail has an account of the meeting here.

WGXC's Galen Joseph-Hunter recorded the entire meeting, which you can hear here. PLAY CLIP (1:36:05)
