Yonkers Raceway: Taking advantage of disabled people
Stop the City of Yonkers Police Department from coming onto casino grounds and issuing tickets to persons with disabilities with handicap tags who are not residents of Yonkers.
Why is this important?
My husband is a person with a disability: an amputee.. We have a NYC DOT Handicap Tag, we went to Yonkers Raceway and parked in the handicap parking spot at the casino. When we returned to our vehicle we had a $230 dollar ticket issued because we parked in the handicap with a NYC HANDICAP TAG and were found guilty because we were not residents of Yonkers(Though it did not specify Handicap parking for Yonkers residents only). Persons with Disabilities should be able to Park on any NYS casino grounds even if they are not residents of that City.
