The 45-year -old 'Baywatch' star wrote a letter to Christine Quinn, speaker of the New York City Council, asking the politician to accompany her to a campaign gala in the Big Apple to hear proposals to replace Central Park's famous horse-drawn carriages with classic cars, reported New York Post online.
However, Quinn has now written back to Anderson saying she does not have time to be her date.
"Unfortunately, due to prior commitments, I won't be able to join you... I know you care very deeply about the safety and well-being of these horses... The NYC Council and I do, too," Quinn wrote.
