Mets owner Steve Cohen's $8 billion casino and entertainment complex plan next to Citi Field has hit a roadblock as Queens state senator Jessica Ramos, whose support is crucial for the project, stated she won't introduce the necessary legislation to progress the proposal. Ramos's decision deals a blow to Cohen's chances of obtaining a state license for the casino, as her endorsement is key in moving the project forward. Despite support from other local officials, Ramos's opposition to the casino on state-owned parkland could hinder Cohen's plans.
