Second race, transfer of Nassau Coliseum lease to Las Vegas style casino developer.
Opening odds. 10-1 against. It's a legitimate long shot.
But odds may change depending on who contributes what to the powers that be. Right now, it looks like a losing bet.

Third race, development of Nassau Coliseum area for mostly high priced condo apartments, with subsidies for a few "affordable" units. IDA's need to weigh in before any final votes by political interests.
Opening odds. Pretty good, depending on how developers play their cards. Nimby sentiments may be outweighed by arguments that we need more housing, including "affordable" housing, and that development will generate needed tax revenues for the County and TOH.

Fourth race, doing nothing because of continued political gridlock.
Opening odds. Your guess is as good as mine. But doesn't bode well for us if the gridlock continues. North Carolina looks pretty attractive in that event.
Here you go: follow the links to the 2/23 meeting agenda and pay attention to the Board Packet

Hopefully the old islander showers will be able to be utilized.

They should house them in Old Westbury. Let the limousine liberals reap what they sow.

Why not house them at one of the abandoned malls? They are in fact, larger.
