DONOVAN Richards gave his thumbs up to the OneLIC Plan this week, with some stipulations, the oddest of which is a request for a new hospital in Long Island City. Oddest yes, but the newfangled demands were multiple and both small and large including a new library for QueensBridge and a batch of $10k small business grants.
