NYC Mayor says Wollman and Lasker rinks in Central Park will stay OPEN
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9285449/De-Blasio-U-turn-Mayor-reconsiders-vindictive-decision-close-Wollman-Lasker-rinks-NYC.htmlNYC Mayor says Wollman and Lasker rinks in Central Park will stay OPEN and Trump Organization will remain the operator
The Wollman and Lasker rinks will not be closed after all, with New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio suddenly folding to pressure to keep the ice rinks open.
Sunday was destined to be the last day of the season the rinks would be open in Central Park.
The mayor wanted to shut them down because they are run by the Trump Organization, whose contracts he has been trying to cancel in the wake of the Capitol riot.
Some viewed the move as being vindictive towards Donald Trump, who feuded with his former home city throughout his presidency.

De Blasio spends far too much time on symbolic gestures that don't actually pan out.
