The Trump Organization had absolutely nothing to do with MGM's decision to withdraw its bid for a casino license in Yonkers. Even the slightest suggestion otherwise is completely false, irresponsible and pure speculation. According to a statement from MGM, the decision to withdraw its bid was due to what the company described as a 'shift' in the 'competitive and economic assumptions' underpinning their application -- including the fact that the state had reduced the length of the proposed license from 30 to 15 years. Instead of lodging false and unsubstantiated allegations, Mayor Spano may want to focus his energy on improving his own city and answering the persistent allegations of nepotism and conflict of interest that have plagued his administration for over a decade. - Trump Organization spokesperson
