Council may get say on stadium
NY Daily News columnist Juan Gonzales has learned that City Council Speaker Gifford Miller plans on introducing a bill tomorrow to prohibit the Mayor from diverting funds from the PILOT (Payment in Lieu of Taxes) fund to pay for the City's $300 million tab for a new Jets Stadium on the West Side.
What does this have to do with the arena?
The PILOT fund is being raided by the Mayor for the $100 million dollars he has promised to the Ratner development. Make sure that your fellow New Yorkers understand that these issues are one and the same.
Since the NoLandGrabbers spent the entire marketing budget on beer at our last meeting, we won't be running commercials on local television stations. So it is up to you to get out the word.
