NY City reverses on de Blasio’s decision to close Trump-run ice rinks, after resident backlash

Just The News:
New York City has reversed its decision to close two municipal ice rinks run by the Trump organization, after Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio said he was required to make the decision because company CEO President Trump had engaged in criminal activity in connection with the Jan. 6 Capitol Hill breach.

“New York City kids deserve all the time on the ice they can get this year,” City Hall press secretary Bill Neidhardt announced Sunday, the scheduled last day. “The Wollman and Laskar rinks will stay open under current management for the few weeks left in this season,”

The contracts expire in April, but de Blaiso moved last month to close them by Feb. 26, sparking backlash by residents who have limited exercise options during the pandemic, and by community leaders, citing the end to hockey and skating programs for children. The move also purportedly impacted hundreds of employees. more
