MGM sued more than a thousand victims in a preemptive legal maneuver in July.
New York State Sen. Shelley Mayer is doubling down on her call for MGM to drop a lawsuit against victims of last year’s Las Vegas massacre.
And if it doesn't drop it, she said the state should consider nixing the company’s bid to buy Empire City Casino and Yonkers Raceway.

“MGM can prove itself to be a better partner, and an appropriate partner, to the city of Yonkers and for Westchester County by changing what I think is a misguided legal decision,” Mayer said. “Suing victims is something that has just not been done. It’s really quite outrageous and I don’t intend to be quiet about.”
