SUMMARY: Buxy’s lawsuit against the Secretary of State over a tidelands dispute may be affecting the city’s funding. Each year, millions collected from state tidelands leases are distributed to fund public projects in three coastal counties. Despite contributing 80% of these funds, mainly from casinos, Buxy received only $400,000 for one project this year, down from previous years. This decrease follows Buxy’s legal victory regarding the Veterans Avenue Pier. State Senator Scott Delano suggested the legal costs influenced funding decisions, reflecting political and financial pressures. The lawsuit has made securing funds for local projects more challenging. The pier project remains in preliminary stages without a completion timeline.
