SPECIAL REPORT: LIGHTHOUSE PROJECT at STOP?
Two stellar sources have gotten back to me on the status of the Lighthouse Project in Nassau County. Source #1 Confirms that the Lighthouse Project has indeed stopped paying FP Clark. LHP owes FP Clark over $200K. FP Clark and the Town are still waiting for more backup for the LHP’s claim that the project [...]
Sadly, Very Little Enlightenment on the Lighthouse
Hey, did you know Brooklyn is in play? Hey, would that be an E4 or E5??? No Eklund is not expounding on the Lighthouse with his rumor system. Instead, it is the kind of flotsam and jetsam that is making the rounds. However, someone better tell Brooklyn who is set to break ground with an architectural plan [...]
FOUR THINGS FOR YOU: Lighthouse Update, Willets Point Rah-Rah, Some Shady Letter Writing & The Isles Still Lose
Remember the meeting that didn’t happen? Breakfast with Dick and Jane…errr, Charles and Kate. But, hey, “no meetings happened or are happening”. Meetings can only occur if someone ordered waffles evidently. Denial or not, that was a few weeks ago. So what’s happened since… Wouldn’t you know it? Another meeting. This time with underlings instead. [...]
MEET ME AT THE MEETING! As Reported Here, Newsday Confirm That Meetings Will Happen. What’s Next?
As a blogger, I’ve always strove for truth. Even in the face of being a fan, I’ve made sure to call it as down the middle as I can. I have skewered, lambasted, ridiculed, poked fun, satired, slammed, and gone for the jugular . . . not of either side, but merely to find where [...]
LIGHTS OUT? NOT QUITE: But Media Silence No Answer (updated again)
UPDATE: Per a source, the Lighthouse Project met last night. Smells like damage control. Someone must have gave out a directive to wait until today. That in itself is problematic, insulting and what makes it still stink to high-heaven. But what is the official take on the LI Press story that engulfed the entire Islander [...]
Why We Need a Lighthouse Project – In Numbers
There is a financial reason why the Lighthouse Project exists when the Islanders technically just need an arena.
MANUFACTURING DISSENT: Time To Call It What It Is…A Great Big Lie?* (updated)
(commentary) Originally, per sources, the October 3rd home opener puck drop was supposed to be Kate Murray. She was invited over the summer in a move to lock them into approving the Lighthouse and then everyone could all celebrate…Fa La La La La. Charles Wang confirmed this to me at Thursday’s hearing when I spoke [...]
THE LIGHTHOUSE BRAWL? After Thursday It Was Every Which Way You Can But Loose, Until . . .
One would think that at the start of the Islanders season we’d actually talking about hockey. Sadly, we are not. As what has been made clear, weeks even before the hearing, was a polarization of two sides. One: a town board who likes to do things their way. Albeit, the criticism is that this way [...]
NY ISLES LIGHTHOUSE PROJECT GETS LEASE FROM COUNTY: Video From the Press Conference
Today, I went over to Mineola to be there for when Tom Suozzi announced that he and the Lighthouse Project’s Charles Wang and Scott Rechler came to a lease agreement. I expected the usual fare, with them putting the pressure onto the Town of Hempstead as the “certainty” deadline quickly approaches a mere few days [...]
Lighthouse Project and Nassau County to Announce Lease Agreement Tomorrow
Tomorrow, at noon, Nassau County Executive Tom Suozzi will announce a lease agreement with the Lighthouse Development Group, leaving final approvals to the Town of Hempstead.
TOWN BOARD WANTS LIGHTHOUSE PROJECT SMALLER: ToH Source Speaks to HockeyIndependent
According to a highly placed source in the Town of Hempstead, the Lighthouse Project will have to scale the project down. Per the source, the town board is not comfortable with the size nor scope of such a project. They would like Wang to do what many others who have projects do “like what Scott [...]
Wang & Kate Plus Fate
by Brenna Solop You know that show on cable where the chick with the short, choppy blond hair and the Asian-American dude are always locking horns, and the fates of lots of children hang in the balance? No, not the one on The Learning Channel. I mean the one on News 12, the one determining [...]
KATE MURRAY AND ME: A Chance Meeting Leads To Some Interesting Answers When Kate Tells Me “Project Is Fine”
I don’t know if it was something in the air or the stars aligning a certain way this first day or autumn. To Isles fans, Fall is how they are feeling from reading Newsday’s skewed take on the proceedings yesterday at the Lighthouse Hearing. Newsday coverage of the Lighthouse Project and the Town of Hempstead [...]
CONTENTION AND DISSENSION AT LIGHTHOUSE HEARING: Two Sides Clash And Have Alternative Takes On The Procedings
You could see this coming miles away. When the ToH complained that is was the Lighthouse Project themselves not willing to negotiate a few weeks back over size and scope, they plied a letter to Suozzi and then to people on Long Island in an Open Letter. Meanwhile, the Lighthouse stuck to their momentum and [...]
Let’s Tip the Scales for the Lighthouse Project Tomorrow
Re-Zoning hearing looms for Lighthouse Project, and the stakes are high.
WELCOME BACK BROOKLYN RUMOR! Rumors Galore But Little Else As We Come Towards Sept 22nd Hearing
Today’s blog is based on the Chris Botta blog that has source citing Brooklyn today in his always excellent IslandersPointBlank. However, we will take that theory and others for a spin today. Hold onto your hats . . . . Welcome Back Brooklyn! (apologies to Welcome Back Kotter) Welcome back, Your dreams of Charles Wang’s [...]
