State Sen. Jessica Ramos expressed her disappointment following the State Senate’s approval of parkland alienation legislation for the $8 billion Metropolitan Park casino project earlier this week.
Ramos was one of only five lawmakers to vote against the bill during Tuesday’s Senate session, where 54 senators voted in favor.
Ramos, who represents the district where the proposed Metropolitan Park development would be located, had consistently refused to introduce the parkland alienation bill required for the project to move forward. The legislation was instead introduced last month by State Sen. John Liu, who represents a smaller portion of the area affected by the proposal.
