“However, the restaurant Chick-fil-A is drawing pushback from at least four state lawmakers, who are asking the Thruway Authority leave Chick-fil-A out of its plazas, citing the company’s long history of donating to anti-LGBTQ+ organizations.
State Assemblywoman Linda Rosenthal said the fast-food chain goes against many of the principles that New York has fought for, including marriage equality and anti-gender discrimination.
“Why is the state endorsing this fast-food chain by allowing it to be on New York state property?” Assemblywoman Rosenthal explained. “I know they’ve said ‘well, no taxpayer money involved in getting them’ etc., but they are sitting on New York state property first. Secondly, there are many other chains that can offer delicious food on the Thruway.”
The Thruway’s 27 rest stops will be undergoing $300 million worth of renovations starting on July 29.
Applegreen, the convenience store chain that is taking over the lease on the Thruway’s rest stops, will be privately funding the project as part of a deal reached with the state.
In a statement, the Thruway Authority emphasized that no taxpayer dollars or toll payer funds will be supporting these upgrades.”
Funny how the Left loves it when government "owns" property so they can micromanage it. It actuality the taxpayers own it but these dictators can control it.
