Anon, 11:10am, you should going into writing fiction. You’re pretty good at it…..
I think that ultimately what matters to these pols is press and $$ and the state coffers will be bled dry by the Atlantic Yards. So the press is going to have a field day with any politician they can blame for the mess that will happen as a result of the state writing a private developer a blank check. This aint Ohio folks. This is liberal NY. And I just think that a big ugly expensive eyesore is going to cause problems when voters are asking why their other pet projects can’t happen like the 2nd ave subway, or school improvements, etc. So when the press takes the pix of the poor people being forcibly evicted from their homes and the $$’s become apparent these politicians are going to look really bad.
Spitzer comes from a Real Estate back ground .. you really think it’s gonna be different in 2007?
Silver honest? He’s as corrupt as they come! But I understand. As long as he opposes the Atlantic Yards, then he must be one of the good guys. Just like Charles Barron, who supports Robert Mugabe.
How outed is Ratner? He can’t get the state to help him with his scam to use public money for his own personal gain. Thank goodness there are honest politicians like Silver that care about the state taxpayers’ best interest.
I’d have much more confidence in this item from NY1 if there was at least one more source to confirm it.
I won! I mean we all won. Yay! The war is not over yet. We need to stop every development in the city.
So we are still at war with these greedy developers. NIMBYs we are going into more battles!
Halle-effing-lujah. Finally, something I actually WANTED for Christmas!
I’ve heard from a staffer at Silver’s office that it’s not true.
