Garden City files lawsuit over casino

The Village of Garden City has filed a lawsuit over plans to build a resort and casino at the Nassau Coliseum.
The suit asks the Nassau State Supreme Court to void the 42-year lease agreement for the Coliseum between the county and Las Vegas Sands, claiming lawmakers violated state rules by not taking a hard enough look at the potential impact a casino could have on the environment.
An environmental review hearing over the plan is scheduled to take place in Mineola on Monday.
