From Randi F. Marshall at Newsday:
Lighthouse partners Charles Wang and Scott Rechler said Thursday they are no longer willing to change their plans to develop the land around Nassau Coliseum.
“This is not the point to start negotiating anything,” Wang said Thursday, five years after unveiling the project. “It’s yes or no.”
Even amid the fanfare of Thursday’s agreement on a proposed lease between the developers and Nassau County, anger and frustration took center stage. Wang, Rechler and County Executive Thomas Suozzi pointed fingers at Hempstead Town Supervisor Kate Murray and the town board for delaying the project and not trying to meet Wang’s Oct. 3 deadline for significant progress on the project.
“Shame on those folks who would stop this project from getting done,” Suozzi said.

Wang said if Murray, a Republican, and the board did not give any answer, he “would construe that as a no.”

About Goal Line Report
The Goal Line Report will focus on all things Eastern Conference. Do I have a bias towards the Eastern Conference just because I am a New Yorker? No, but it certainly does make things easier! I’ll make my opinions known on Eastern Conference news bits (as often as I can), big games, hot and cold players, trades (I don’t make things up) and anything and everything else related to the Eastern Conference that I think is important for hockey fans to know. I will, in every sense of the word, be the beast of the East while also making sure to drop my thoughts on other hockey news items.
