New York’s governor will go to bat for one of her biggest donors to help revive his NYC casino bid: sources

Gov. Kathy Hochul will go to bat for Mets owner Steve Cohen – one of the Democrat’s biggest donors – to help revive the billionaire’s all-but-dead bid for a coveted New York City casino license, The Post has learned.

Hochul plans to introduce legislation in the 2025 state budget that would broaden the permitted uses of city parkland for a gambling complex, a source close to the situation told The Post.

State lawmakers have tried to thwart Cohen and others from moving forward with their billion-dollar projects, citing concerns over the loss of public land to private ventures.
