A representative for Swift did not respond to several questions, including Thursday.City officials have admitted that they are planning a major event at Madison Square Garden that will also require a police presence over the weekend.But both Mamdani and his police force have repeatedly refused to discuss the nature of the event – angering nearby business owners and raising questions about the use of public funds to cover up private security.“This is ridiculous,” said Michael O’Brien, owner of O’Briens Bar and Grill, across from Madison Square Garden.He said he’s worried business will be lost because of the road closures, which had not been publicly announced by the police department as of Thursday afternoon.O’Brien continued: “If they can afford the permits, they can afford this big event, why not just buy local businesses instead of disrupting us?”
