Jessica Ramos took a lot of heat from progressives for backing Cuomo, but she's been a principled casino opponent. The left is naturally backing Gonzalez-Rojas, but is she in favor of Steve Cohen's casino at Willets Point? Would be interested to see where she stands.
@RossBarkan Ramos can never be allowed to recover for backing Cuomo, ever.
@RossBarkan Gonzales-Rojas did vote for it. She is quoted here defending the project on its merits. She also defended the vote in a May 14 email, albeit with incorrect claim-- "This bill does not approve a casino". https://qns.com/2025/05/assemb...
@RossBarkan Isn't there an argument after this NBA-Mob fixed Poker scandal that there is a need for some type of legal gambling in the city?
@RossBarkan every queens elected wants the casino now. ramos's appointee voted for it
@RossBarkan She is one of the best Dems on labor issues
@RossBarkan Fuck off
