Brooklyn —
Three lawmakers have sued the state to demand that it keep the emergency room at Victory Memorial Hospital open, even if the rest of the medical center is forced to close down.
State Sen. Marty Golden (R — Bay Ridge), Rep. Vito Fossella (R — Bay Ridge) and Councilman Vincent Gentile (D — Bay Ridge) put aside partisan bickering on Tuesday to file a lawsuit against the Department of Health that seeks to reverse a state decision to close the financially strapped hospital.
“We have no other choice but to pursue legal action to force the state to do the right thing for our community,” said Fossella.
