Nassau County Legislature's Rules Committee approves Sands lease agreement
The Nassau County Rules Committee approved the proposed lease agreement on July 22 for the Las Vegas Sands to have control of the Nassau Coliseum and its surrounding property in Uniondale.
The meeting, held at the Nassau County Executive Building in Mineola, drew a large crown of supporters, as well as people opposed to the agreement.
“At the end of the day, I will never stand back when you jeopardize the economic certainty of the working families of Nassau County and Long Island,” Ryan Stanton, executive director of the Long Island Federation of Labor, said.
