Peter Mandzych, as a former resident of commack and long island in general. I would think that having the pilgrim state property given to the Islanders to build a new arena on would be perfect if the LHP falls apart. I remerber a few years back when newsday had a huge article on the Isles looking at suffolk and the pilgrim state property was mentioned. The ass clowns as I like to refer to the people who don’t want the pilgrim state property to be developed into anything worth a damn are old, stupid and have the same mindset as the other assclowns in garden city. Which we all know is the Not In My Backyard mindset that has plagued LI’s chances of having any hope of developing into a porductive and opportunistic place to live and work.

Any place that has ingrained opponents, including Suffolk's Pilgrim State area, or Queens who does have business opponents to the eminent domain, or Atlantic Yards in Brooklyn....I view as being second best when Hempstead and Garden City's complaining really hasn't been much but that. So I view it Nassau is still best choice. Plus, Suffolks would take years to do all that work again.

Part of this is common sense, not politics. Nassau lacks a convention center and venue that people, fans and long islander deserve. The Coliseum is a wreck of a place. LI needs jobs and business opportunity. This is not just to offset a recession, but even before that recession we were sinking fast.

If the LHP goes elsewhere, it is a huge black mark on those in power who helped put it that way. Yes blame goes to both sides, but the LHP is still here and waiting to see how the political smoke clears.

Right on Mr Gallof…time is running out.

Remember…after the new lease was agreed upon…the Nassau County Legislature has 120 days to approve the new lease. The County will not act until the TOH approves the project. Is it possible that Kate Murray….Santino and the rest of the TOH board will look to “run out the clock” on those 120 days ??
Is the fact that now the Republicans in Nassau control the legislature…can that throw a big monkey wrench into the process.? Mr. Gallof…you talk about Queens being Mr. Wangs “other” option..well what about Suffolk County being thrown in the mix since Levy has extended his hand ? Remember Levy is offering the land around Pilgrim State to the Islanders…however there are people who live in neighboring communities like Commack and Dix Hills that do not want “any” development at Pilgrim State. WHAT YOUR TAKE ON THIS ?????

BD,

I keep reading about the team moving to Queens, or wherever around the Islanders present home. If this deals falls apart, the team will move, but it will not be anywhere near it’s current home.

I for one, hope that this never happens, but look for the team to be north of the border sooner rather than later.
