DIRTY LAUNDRY LIST
West Side Stadium & Nets Arena Comparison
Now that the MOU has been released and more details about Ratner's plan have emerged the list of issues tied to the West Side Stadium controversy have become clearer. Here's NoLandGrab's Dirty Laundry List so that you can tell your friends why they should scrap Ratner's arena along with the West Side Stadium.
DIRTY LAUNDRY LIST
- MTA sale of public land must go to highest bidder
- Taxpayer financing ($300 million and $100 million for the Stadium and Arena, respectively, while slashing $1.3 BILLION from schools)
- No legislative oversight (no local review & no legislative approval of taxpayer financing)
- Bloomberg going to the mat for big business
Plus: Ratner wants to use eminent domain to displace residents and small businesses.
