More great news in the movement to protect our public shorelines and open space on Randall's Island!
Thought to share this letter with you all from the NYC Comptroller, William Thompson.
In it he reiterates his opposition to the waterpark and points out that fifteen moths later, it is still in limbo, and NYC taxpayers could be in the lurch for up to $100 million now.
Good work team!
Thanks for your support on this ongoing issue. This is another strong step in the wave to stop the inappropriate use of our public land for corporatization of public space!

&&&&&&&&********* Contact The Mayor today, and tell him:
Drown the waterpark and private beach proposal for Randall's Island. It was a Mayor Giuiliani era project that needs to be terminated. Thank you.
