OPINION: The fight for casino licenses in New York City is dirty by design
Mets owner Steve Cohen has struck out, for now, on beefing up his bid to open a casino near Citi Field.
Specifically, he whiffed on cashing in a return favor from Gov. Hochul, who raked in a combined $136,700 in donations from Cohen and his wife in 2021.
The key moment: The Post reported that Hochul was planning do it in the 2025 state budget, by inserting a measure to broaden the permitted uses of city parkland and so clear a major hurdle for Cohen’s proposed $8 billion “Metropolitan Park” casino-entertainment mammoth in Queens.
