Hofstra is not “betting” on anything. It was clear to everyone at the time the lease was approved that it was being rushed to avoid scrutiny and laws were being blatantly violated. The County knew that if the residents became fully aware as to how massive the casino complex would be, the majority of residents would oppose the plan. This is borne out by a recent Newsday poll where Nassau County residents oppose the casino 49-42. Residents of Nassau County owe a debt of gratitude to Hofstra for holding the County accountable for its actions. The County should stop wasting millions in legal fees on an appeal and redo the lease process – this time following the laws that were designed to protect us.

Sands own environmental review seems usable ONLY as a template. There needs to be a truly independent Environmental Impact Assessment to get accurate numbers on the amount of water and energy to be used, the amount of sewage will be generated, and the amount of drilling to be done for the new well. How will our air and water be affected? Will water tables rise as they sink foundations in to support the hotel towers and parking lots?
Surely we are not leaving it up to Sands to provide the necessary information for the full environmental review.
