《纽约邮报》周三报道称,纽约州州长凯西·霍楚尔可能会出手拯救纽约大都会队老板史蒂夫·科恩在花旗球场旁边建造赌场的计划。
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.
据《纽约邮报》报道,纽约州州长凯西·霍赫尔(Kathy Hochul)可能会帮助纽约大都会队老板史蒂夫·科恩(Steve Cohen)在花旗球场旁边建造赌场,但拟议的援助远远不能保证他获得许可证。周三。
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.
据《华盛顿邮报》援引一位知情人士的话报道,作为 2025 年国家预算的一部分,Hochul 计划出台立法,将赌博综合体指定为城市公园绿地的允许用途。
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.
这一举措将有效地消除在很大程度上破坏了科恩的大都会公园综合体的一个障碍,这是他与硬石国际公司共同制定的一项大规模提案,其中不仅包括赌场,还包括酒店塔楼、音乐场所、公共公园空间等。
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场附近的停车场目前被指定为公园用地。这意味着科恩需要州立法机关通过一项公园用地转让法案,允许其重新规划用于其他用途。
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.
传统上,此类法案仅由代表被疏远地区的立法者提出。虽然科恩在纽约州议会获得了必要的支持,但州参议员杰西卡·拉莫斯(D-Queens)表示,她将拒绝在纽约州参议院提出这样的法案。
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.
科恩并不是唯一遇到土地使用问题的潜在开发商。 Bally Links 的提案将位于布朗克斯区前特朗普集团高尔夫球场的所在地,还需要一项公园用地转让法案才能根据现行法律进行。
“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.”
《纽约邮报》援引一位“接近科恩竞争对手之一”的消息人士的话称,“总督将努力将赌场牌照竞标的所有土地使用问题纳入预算。” “她正试图把它塞进去。”
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.
尽管如此,仍有理由相信此举将使科恩受益。这位亿万富翁对冲基金经理一直是霍赫尔的主要捐助者。 2021 年,科恩和他的妻子亚历山德拉 (Alexandra) 向 Hochul 竞选活动总共捐赠了 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,她没有计划在即将到来的 2025 年预算中推动这样的改变。
“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,阴暗的人,会试图操纵[赌场许可]程序以谋取私利,并愿意散布谎言,”霍楚尔周四告诉记者。 “我无意将其纳入我的行政预算中。”
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.
即使没有计划改变指定公园的规则,科恩显然一直在寻求解决拉莫斯对其赌场的反对。
“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.”
大都会公园发言人卡尔·里基特(Karl Rickett)上个月在开发商向纽约市规划委员会提交计划时表示,“国家从来没有想让任何人有能力单枪匹马地阻止或批准一个项目。” “我们有充足的时间和其他途径来完成这项工作,并且鉴于民选官员、工会和当地社区的压倒性支持,我们有信心我们拥有最好的整体项目。”
Both Cohen and Genting Are Applying for a License in Queens
科恩和云顶都在皇后区申请执照
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.
即使有利的公园用地条款获得通过,科恩仍将面临州内三个可用赌场许可证之一的激烈竞争。近十几个项目正在争夺这三个位置,其中大都会公园面临的最大问题是位于皇后区渡槽赛马场的云顶名胜世界纽约市赛马场。
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.
名胜世界设施以及位于扬克斯赛道的帝国城赌场被认为是其中两个许可证的热门项目,因为它们可以快速扩展到完整的赌场,而无需立即进行任何建设。
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.
但最近有指控称,拉斯维加斯名胜世界允许已知的非法博彩公司在赌场赌博,并可能在那里洗钱,这可能会使云顶皇后区设施的受欢迎地位面临风险。
“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.”
“如果云顶没有获得许可证,这对史蒂夫·科恩来说是一个巨大的机会,”《华盛顿邮报》援引消息人士的话说。 “人们不会有兴趣在皇后区开设两家赌场。”
