ESDC Forced to Cough Up Financial Docs on AY

After dragging its feet for two years, the Empire State Development Corporation signalled yesterday that it would finally release documents containing financial information about the Atlantic Yards project. After the ESDC fought a freedom of information reques last year, Assemblyman James Brennan teamed up with state Senator Velmanette Montgomery on Monday to file a lawsuit against the ESDC for improperly withholding the financial documents. One reason opponents of the project are so curious to see the documents is to get a better view into how profitable the project is expected to be for Bruce Ratner, hoping that big numbers would undermine his argument for needing to make the site so dense. The craving for transparency is due in part to the fact that the project gets to by-pass the city’s land-review process because so much of the land is state-owned.

By now everyone on this board should know that this troll is clearly under the employ of the Prince Hotel Group. I went back through about 25 threads on PLG and Park Slope Moms and witnessed the same troll tirelessly and systematically sabotaging every board with respect to these two areas. By virtue of his writing style, tone and penchant for praising, talking to, and arguing with himself, it became abundantly clear that the Park Slope mom troll and Lefferts Hotel troll are two of the same. Given these desperate measures, I can only surmise that Mr. Fried finds himself in quite a dire predicament. I’m happy to see that Mr. Fried and his minions are finally feeling some real heat and succumbing to the pressure. Hopefully, in a few years they’ll also feel the solitude and coldness of a federal prison cell.
Trust me. There is a huge case here. I sense it. And at some point this house of cards will come crashing down. This dirty, rotten, bastards will not GET AWAY WITH THIS!!! I SWEAR TO GOD IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN!!!!!

brownstoner, why not go ahead and delete posts 4:00 PM, 4:12 PM and, 4:25 PM.
Those were some of the ones that I submitted that your forgot to delete.
Come to think of it, I am almost certain that you too are on the FCR payroll….but I can’t blame you…what’s a guy to do…the mortgage has to be paid, the family fed, etc…there’s no telling how hungry a self-employed, freelancer will get.
why not go ahead and block my ip address too while you’re at it. Believe me, it would free me up to concentrate on more productive endeavors.
Congrats on the blog; it’s been addictive. But I’ve gone cold-turkey. Every now and then I will experience a relapse…but I’m working consistently towards being ‘brownstoner free’.
Bx2Bklyn – actually when you are talking about building next to the largest hub in NYC – quantity counts for alot – this is a once in at least 150yr opportunity. Every person that is prevented from moving to AY b/c it is scaled down represents – either a person who most likely will be moving into an area further from their work with less mass trasit options (thereby increasing strain on mass transit through longer trips or more pollution through increased car trips) or they represent someone who can’t live/work in NYC which is of course an overall loss for the local economy.
Let’s stay on topic please…
Anon 4:48- Fact: only one person can register as bx2bklyn on typekey. No one else can register as bx2bklyn through typekey. That’s why Mr. B set it up. And on this matter I’m finished.
tried both, and at this point why should I do that? That’s exactly what the troll wants. I can only keep reminding people I don’t post unless I’m signed in.
Bx thanks for defending PH, but it seems like the Mole and Troll are following you around. Maybe you should change your name or lay low.
4:27- you’re misunderstanding what I said. I said I do not post unless I am signed into typekey. You will always see that icon if the post is really mine. I can’t control someone using my name to post on brownstoner, only the way they do it. If there is no icon after my name, I didn’t post it.
Oh she knows that full well. She’s trying to play dumb. It’s all part of the same old tired routine. She should hire a program planner or something.
