TOH counter proposal!!! Also Wang & Shinnecock?

Well this morning the TOH unveiled their plan for the Lighthouse and saying its underwhelming is quite an understatement.  The size of the original Lighthouse proposal was between 10 and 13.5 million square feet and the TOH reduced proposal is 5.4 million feet.  Two million of which is reserved for parking according to Chris Botta.  Here is the press release issued by Kate herself as well as councilwomen Dorthy Goosby who is responsible for the district the Lighthouse would be in.

Reaction to that press release deserves an entry in that of itself and I will try to get that up as soon as possible.

According to Chris Botta Wang and County Executive Ed Mangano are talking about doing a proposal with the Shinnecock nation troop in which a Mohegan Sun type Casino would be built along with a Coliseum for the islanders among other things.  Check out pointblank for more on this.

I don’t like or support the idea of putting a Casino a couple hundred feet of local Colleges.  But this is what happens when you have brainwashed people who vote for candidates based off party line and not the issues.  Hopefully we reach an amicable resolution but I am not holding my breath.
