ALBANY — The state’s Franchise Oversight Board, citing a lack of cooperation from the New York Racing Association and concerns about its proposed budget, has asked New York’s inspector general to examine its operations.

In a letter yesterday to NYRA President Charles Hayward, board chairman Robert Megna said there remain “significant and unacceptable gaps” in the board’s ability to obtain and analyze information, including reports that senior executives and others got raises despite a projected $11 million deficit.
