Jan. 13—The board of directors for Western Regional Off-Track Betting Corp. has agreed to allocate up to $20,000 in agency funds to cover legal services being provided to "certain" employees who are being interviewed as part of an unspecified "investigation."
An attorney working for the firm representing those employees would not identify them or discuss the nature of the investigation. He did say, however, that his firm's work with OTB is based on his client's interest to "cooperate."
"Our law firm is representing certain employees of Wester Regional Off-Track Betting who are being interviewed regarding different matters related to the operations of regional off track betting," said Rodney Personius, a partner with the firm, Personius Melber in Buffalo. "It's part of an effort on the part of OTB to cooperate with that investigation."
During a meeting at the end of December, a majority of board members voted in a favor of a resolution authorizing OTB to cover up to $20,000 for legal services being provided to employees by Personius Melber, LLP.
OTB representatives did not respond to requests for comment.
The resolution indicates only that the unspecified "investigation" involves "past operations and activities" at OTB. The expenditures authorized by the board, according to the resolution, will cover costs of legal services for employees "directly connected" to their employment with the public benefit corporation.
