Coney Island casino bid appears poised to fail as CAC members announce ‘no’ votes

Council Member Justin Brannan, Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso and state Sen. Jessica Scarcella-Spanton will vote “no” on The Coney, they announced in separate statements on Sept. 22. Marissa Solomon, who was appointed to the CAC by Assembly Member Alec Brook-Krasny, will also vote “no,” she told Brooklyn Paper.
“After taking part in two public hearings regarding this application, reading countless testimonies, and meeting with and hearing from my constituents about their thoughts, perspectives, and concerns regarding this application, I have decided to vote in opposition,” Scarcella-Spanton said in a statement."
