Stadium lawyers suit up
NY Daily News
Comlumnist Juan Gonzales on the up-and-coming court battles over the West Side Stadium:
This is not just a misguided effort by Mayor Bloomberg and his economic development czar Daniel Doctoroff to spend millions in public money on the world's most expensive private stadium.
No, this stadium deal is far worse.
It reflects the chief hallmark of the Bloomberg years - crony capitalism.
"These hyperdevelopment projects are going up all over the city," says Beka Economopoulos of the Creative Industries Coalition, a neighborhood group in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. "City Hall keeps squeezing out residents and small businesses in favor of rich developers."
