《紐約郵報》週三報道稱,紐約州州長凱西·霍楚爾可能會出手拯救紐約大都會隊老闆史蒂夫·科恩在花旗球場旁建造賭場的計劃。
New York Governor Kathy Hochul may be coming to the aid of New York Mets owner Steve Cohen in his bid to build a casino next to Citi Field, وإن كان the proposed assistance would fall well short of guaranteeing him a license, the New York Post reported Wednesday.
根據《紐約郵報》報道,紐約州長凱西·霍赫爾(Kathy Hochul)可能會幫助紐約大都會隊老闆史蒂夫·科恩(Steve Cohen)在花旗球場旁邊建造賭場,但擬議的援助遠遠遠不能保證他獲得許可證。
As part of the 2025 state budget, Hochul plans to introduce legislation that would designate a gambling complex as a permitted use of city parkland, the Post reported, citing a source close to the situation.
根據《華盛頓郵報》引述一位知情人士的話報道,作為 2025 年國家預算的一部分,Hochul 計劃出台立法,將賭博綜合體指定為城市公園綠地的允許用途。
Such a move would effectively eliminate an obstacle that had largely scuttled Cohen’s Metropolitan Park complex, a massive proposal he is developing with Hard Rock International that includes not only a casino, but also hotel towers, a music venue, public park space, and more.
這項舉措將有效地消除在很大程度上破壞了科恩的大都會公園綜合體的一個障礙,這是他與硬石國際公司共同製定的一項大規模提案,其中不僅包括賭場,還包括酒店塔樓、音樂場所、公共公園空間等。
But the parking lots near Citi Field where Cohen wants to build are currently designated as parkland. That means Cohen would need the state legislature to pass a parkland alienation bill, allowing it to be rezoned for other uses.
但科恩想要建造的花旗球場附近的停車場目前被指定為公園用地。這意味著柯恩需要州立法機關通過一項公園用地轉讓法案,允許其重新規劃用於其他用途。
Traditionally, such bills are only introduced by lawmakers who represent the areas being alienated. While Cohen has the necessary support in the New York Assembly, State Senator Jessica Ramos (D-Queens) has said she will refuse to introduce such a bill in the New York Senate.
傳統上,此類法案僅由代表被疏遠地區的立法者提出。雖然科恩在紐約州議會獲得了必要的支持,但州參議員傑西卡·拉莫斯(D-Queens)表示,她將拒絕在紐約州參議院提出這樣的法案。
Cohen isn’t the only potential developer who has encountered land use problems. The Bally Links proposal, which would be located in the Bronx at the site of a former Trump Organization golf course, would also need a parkland alienation bill to proceed under current law.
科恩並不是唯一遇到土地使用問題的潛在開發商。 Bally Links 的提案將位於布朗克斯區前川普集團高爾夫球場的所在地,還需要一項公園用地轉讓法案才能根據現行法律進行。
“The Governor is going to try to get all the land use issues for the casino license bids rolled into the budget,” the New York Post quoted a source “close to one of Cohen’s rival bidders” as saying. “She is trying to stuff it in there.”
《紐約郵報》援引一位“接近科恩競爭對手之一”的消息人士的話稱,“總督將努力將賭場牌照競標的所有土地使用問題納入預算。” “她正試圖把它塞進去。”
Still, there are reasons to believe such a move would be made to benefit Cohen. The billionaire hedge fund manager has been a major donor to Hochul. In 2021, Cohen and his wife, Alexandra, donated a combined $136,700 to the Hochul campaign.
儘管如此,仍有理由相信此舉將使科恩受益。這位億萬富翁對沖基金經理人一直是霍赫爾的主要捐助者。 2021 年,科恩和他的妻子亞歷山德拉 (Alexandra) 向 Hochul 競選活動總共捐贈了 136,700 美元。
But Hochul says she has no plans to push for such a change in her upcoming 2025 budget.
但 Hochul 表示,她沒有計劃在即將到來的 2025 年預算中推動這樣的改變。
“There are people, shady people, who will try to manipulate the [casino licensing] process to their benefit and be willing to put out lies,” Hochul told reporters on Thursday. “I have had no intention of putting this in my executive budget.”
「有些人,陰暗的人,會試圖操縱[賭場許可]程序以謀取私利,並願意散佈謊言,」霍楚爾週四告訴記者。 “我無意將其納入我的行政預算中。”
Even without a plan to change the rules for designated parkland, it’s clear that Cohen has been looking to work around Ramos’ opposition to his casino.
即使沒有計劃改變指定公園的規則,科恩顯然一直在尋求解決拉莫斯對其賭場的反對。
“The state never intended any one person to have the ability to singlehandedly stop or approve a project,” Karl Rickett, a spokesman for Metropolitan Park, said last month, as developers submitted their plans to the New York City Planning Commission. “We have plenty of time and other avenues to get this done and feel confident given the overwhelming support from elected officials, unions, and the local community, that we have the best overall project.”
大都會公園發言人卡爾·里基特(Karl Rickett)上個月在開發商向紐約市規劃委員會提交計劃時表示,“國家從來沒有想讓任何人有能力單槍匹馬地阻止或批准一個項目。” “我們有充足的時間和其他途徑來完成這項工作,並且鑑於民選官員、工會和當地社區的壓倒性支持,我們有信心我們擁有最好的整體項目。”
Both Cohen and Genting Are Applying for a License in Queens
科恩和雲頂都在皇后區申請執照
Even if a favorable parkland provision passes, Cohen will still face stiff competition for one of the three available downstate casino licenses. Nearly a dozen projects are vying for those three slots, with the most problematic for Metropolitan Park being the Genting-owned Resorts World New York City racino at the Aqueduct Racetrack in Queens.
即使有利的公園用地條款獲得通過,科恩仍將面臨州內三個可用賭場許可證之一的激烈競爭。近十幾個項目正在爭奪這三個位置,其中大都會公園面臨的最大問題是位於皇后區渡槽賽馬場的雲頂名勝世界紐約市賽馬場。
That Resorts World facility — and the Empire City Casino at Yonkers Raceway — have been considered strong favorites for two of the licenses, as they can quickly scale to full casinos without any immediate construction.
名勝世界設施以及位於揚克斯賽道的帝國城賭場被認為是其中兩個許可證的熱門項目,因為它們可以快速擴展到完整的賭場,而無需立即進行任何建設。
But recent allegations that Resorts World Las Vegas permitted known illegal bookmakers to gamble at the casino and potentially launder money there could put that favorite status for Genting’s Queens facility at risk.
但最近有指控稱,拉斯維加斯名勝世界允許已知的非法博彩公司在賭場賭博,並可能在那裡洗錢,這可能會使雲頂皇后區設施的受歡迎地位面臨風險。
“If Genting doesn’t get a license, it’s a huge opportunity for Steve Cohen,” the Post quoted its source as saying. “There would not be an appetite for two Queens casinos.”
「如果雲頂沒有獲得許可證,這對史蒂夫·科恩來說是一個巨大的機會,」《華盛頓郵報》引述消息人士的話說。 “人們不會有興趣在皇后區開設兩家賭場。”
