It's not a done deal. The lawsuits have a chance. And even if the lawsuits fail, the city is holding some cards right now.
The senecas are slow to realize two things:
that despite their exclusive secretive agreements with albany, they suddenly need the city to assist them to get it done right.
secondly that, since their main customer is buffalo, they are shooting themselves in the foot by pissing residents off. If they keep pushing and making threats, city hall will get more and more calls to cut these guys off and not spend a dime on improvements. Is that the kind of battle they're looking for? Something that will hurt their business?
we'll see what happens I guess...
