NY Senators to Legoland: 'Get your hands out of our taxpayers' pockets'

GOSHEN — New York Senators James Skoufis and Jen Metzger are objecting to Legoland New York's request to the Orange County Legislature for up to $1 million to market their theme park, now under construction in Goshen, around the world.

“Legoland needs to get their hands out of our taxpayers' pockets," said Skoufis, who represents the 39th District. "Their audacity knows no bounds: millions of dollars in so-called incentives and excessively generous property tax breaks apparently aren't enough,” said Senator Skoufis. “The Orange County Legislature should reject Legoland's request for publicly funded advertisements and make them pay for their own marketing like every other corporation.”
