The judge ruled that officials did not hold open meetings and give notice for environmental law reviews before voting on the matter. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"a-voided-lease\">A Voided Lease <\/h2>\n<p>Yesterday, <strong>Supreme Court Judge Sarika Kppor<\/strong> decided that the lease should be voided, and planning officials in Nassau County will now need to start over. New hearings must be held, and the county legislature can vote again once all protocols have been completed. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Hofstra University<\/strong> applauded the decision, as the school is located next to the hub of the coliseum. The school opposes the plan and does not want a casino added to the area. The college filed a lawsuit earlier this year as lawmakers and planning officials did not provide sufficient notice for public meetings and environmental reviews before the vote took place. <\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tF1_8wVcmi4?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0?ecver=2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The judge also ruled that attorney fees and costs were to be paid to Hofstra by the defendant in the case due to the many claims.
