State Senator Jessica Ramos opposes a bill that could allow billionaire Steve Cohen and Hard Rock to open a casino complex near CitiField in her district. Despite her concerns and refusal to support the legislation, Senator John Liu has stepped forward to introduce the bill, which aims to re-designate parkland for commercial use required for the project. Ramos fears negative impacts on her lower-income constituents. With a new push for the bill, the measure may advance despite local opposition.
"I don't know if I have the power to block that legislation," said Jessica Ramos, acknowledging the likelihood of legislation passing despite her opposition.
Ramos expressed her concerns, stating, "I think he's wrong. It's really about my neighborhood," highlighting the potential negative impact on her constituents.
