Legislature mulls $4M in Coliseum repairs
The existing contract between Nassau and the Islanders requires the county to pay for nearly all repairs to the 39-year-old arena, the second-oldest active facility in the NHL .
A new lease agreement between the county and the team would allow the parties to split the burden of caring for a new Coliseum.
The Islanders will handle the expense of major renovations and annual repairs of $500,000 or less, according to the lease.
I like the timing of this request for repairs...
