The future looks ....

So, Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano will speak tomorrow at 11am about a Casino -Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum - Baseball field -Red Robin (I kid here), co-owned by the Shinnecock tribe. Technically, being able to bypass the Town of Hempstead zoning laws, it seems a convenient strong-arm against Charles Wang and the Islanders to finally, at least officially, lay to rest and pull the plug of the once-proud Lighthouse Project.

It will be interesting to see how the Town of Hempstead will react to the same traffic and eye-sore issues brought up about the Lighthouse when speaking of the new complex casino.  I am also interested to see how Kate Murray responds, and what the public position of the Islanders will be.

I will reserve further comment until I learn more.
