MTA facing flurry of suits over Hudson Yards deal
A coallition of four groups has added to the chorus crying foul over the MTA's bidding process for the Hudson Yards.
The NY Times, Transit and Labor Groups Sue MTA Over Railyards
The suit by the four groups - the Straphangers Campaign, Common Cause/NY, the Transport Workers Union Local 100 and the Tri-State Transportation Campaign - said that a "flawed and unlawful" sales process had resulted in the authority's awarding the development rights to the Jets for $250 million, a price, they said, that shortchanged commuters.
Unlike a similar legal challenge filed earlier this month by a rival bidder, Cablevision, the new lawsuit asks the State Supreme Court to issue an order rejecting all the bids and to conduct a new auction.
