Minority officials and religious groups to call on state to halt LICH sale
SUNY's RFP process bypassed top two minority bidders
Unrest over SUNY’s sale of Brooklyn’s Long Island College Hospital (LICH) continues, this time with New York’s minority leaders, who are demanding an investigation into the state’s process in choosing a buyer for the shuttered Cobble Hill hospital.
A press conference is planned for 9:30 a.m. Friday on the steps of City Hall in Manhattan.
The advocacy groups are urging Governor Cuomo, Attorney General Schneiderman and Comptroller DiNapoli to instruct the SUNY Board to suspend its deal with developer Fortis Property Group until they can justify bypassing the two highest-ranked bidders for the hospital.
