Yankees Prez Subpoenaed
Just caught this over at ESPN. Predictably, Bloomberg is annoyed over the subpoena. Interesting snippets from the article:
[Assemblyman] Brodsky has accused city and team officials of secret negotiations that altered property assessments to make the deal legal and to provide a free luxury suite for city officials. Brodsky says the project won't create enough permanent jobs to justify the public funding.
The Yankees are asking for another $259 million in tax-exempt bonds and $111 million in taxable bonds, on top of $940 million in tax-exempt bonds and $25 million in taxable bonds already granted for the $1.3 billion Bronx stadium.
Gotta love the Yankees for building a prohibitively expensive stadium that alienates and exploits their fans.

I’d like to see someone get superpoenaed.
Wait, that doesn’t sound right …
Signature to be named later.
