The Coney Island Community Advisory Committee officially rejected the proposed gaming complex on Monday, ending a monthlong tug-of-war in The People’s Playground.
Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso and state Sen. Jessica Scarcella-Spanton also voted against the proposal. Two committee members, Portia Henry and Alex Sommer, who were appointed by Gov. Kathy Hochul and Mayor Eric Adams, respectively, voted in favor.
