The councilman from Queens stated that he agrees with a billionaire's plan to develop the area into an expansive $8 billion entertainment complex that includes a hotel and casino.
The New York Mets' owner and billionaire hedge fund manager is teaming up with Hard Rock International on a project called Metropolitan Park, which aims to rejuvenate the neighborhood surrounding Citi Field.
The councilman's endorsement of the casino plan and the timing of his press release seemed to annoy the state senator from New York.
