Who proves to be victorious in the Council District 13 election race tonight between Republican candidate Kristy Marmorato and Democrat incumbent Marjorie Velázquez could well depend on each candidate’s view regarding the proposed casino at Ferry Point Park.

Bally’s, a gaming, betting and entertainment company, is expected to open a casino at the current location of the golf course within the park.
