Plans to bring a controversial casino to Coney Island were shot down this week. The community advisory committee tasked with sending the proposal to the State Gaming Commission for consideration voted against it — four to two.

Joining the show to unpack the impact of that vote is the chair of the advisory committee Council Member Justin Brannan.

Also, Amit Singh Bagga, the campaign director for “Yes on Affordable Housing” discusses questions 2-5 on the ballot this November.
