Nassau Coliseum Bond Vote

Dear editor please put this as a new topic

NASSAU COLISEUM

Aug 1st there will be a vote on whether the county should take out bonds to support the new revitalization project .
The answer should be an overwhelmingly YES. Why?
The reality is that without this project the Islanders will be moving off the island and this site will just further decay. With this new project tax revenues will be created for the county which would help teaxpayers with our tax bills. Thousands of jobs would be created and this would just be the beginning of what could be a true revitalization of Nassau county, Something that is long over due. If this were not rebuilt you could almost forget about going to any concert or eevent as most people would opt to go to the new arena in brooklyn that will be accessible by the LIRR or MSG which is undergoing a major renovation right now . The last thing we want to see is a chain link fence around hundreds of acres of property that is just rotting away to which we would probably have to pay for cops to patrol to deter any crime being committed there .My interest in this project is only that I am a taxpayer. I do not work for the county or anybody that has any connection to this project

  1. Either way our taxes are going to go up when we we have to pay for the cops to patrol a decaying empty coliseum that has been abandoned. Without the Islanders that coliseum will rot. No circus, no trade shows, no concerts. Sad to say that yesterdays vote was very short sighted
