The Queens Eagle is paying attention….
Protestors went back and forth with State Assemblyman Jeffrion Aubry this weekend over his bill to clear the way for Mets owner Steve Cohen to put a casino on the Citi Field parking lot.
“Assemblymember Aubry’s bill enables an over 60-acre land grab in our communities,” said Rebecca Pryor, of Guardians of Flushing Bay. “If this was happening in Manhattan, no one would let it through. Sixty-acres of public parkland giving away for private profit, never, ever would that happen. That is happening here, and that is why this is an environmental injustice.”via Queens Eagle
