Sports officials, under new governor, to review Meadowlands plans
Newsday:
"New Jersey's new acting governor has given state sports officials more leeway than his predecessor did when negotiating with professional teams to keep them from fleeing the state."
"New Jersey Sports & Exposition Authority Chairman, Carl “Goldberg said Codey asked him to strike a more conciliatory tone with the teams, and that he did just that in a recent 'productive conversation" with the Nets owner, developer Bruce Ratner, about extending the Nets' lease beyond the 2006-07 season if a Brooklyn arena is not built in time."
Remember, Ratner “isn’t as negative on the Meadowlands as some may think.” (Brooklyn Papers, October 30)
