This week Mayor Michael Bloomberg appointed Giuliani cousin Raymond Casey as president of Off-Track Betting Corp., which operates city betting parlors. ...During Giuliani's tenure, Casey was appointed to several city posts, including chairman and executive director of the Trade Waste Commission; executive director of the Gambling Control Commission; and inspector general of the Department of Sanitation. Casey, who had said he did not want to rely on his Giuliani connection to get a job, earned $162,800 at the Trade Waste Commission.

His salary at OTB has not been determined. Casey declined comment, but the mayor said Casey's Giuliani ties had nothing to do with the hiring. ...And the father of the Casey brothers, Raymond L. Casey, makes $98,000 as an executive in the city's labor relations office. He was appointed to that post by Giuliani.
