He wanted to convert the East Bathhouse (great Art Deco building) into a luxury restaurant with the kitchen in the basement?... on a sandbar...at the beach...

jeez, there were lawsuits and zoning restrictions, and he filed suit. (which he didn't drop until Sandy almost washed the whole thing away)

Of course, voting for Cuomo (D-Just Barely) wasn't that much of a stretch for him.
