Sweet Al
The Real Estate Observer
by Matthew Schuerman
What were the chances that Ratner and Gehry's Atlantic Yards controversy would roll along without Al Sharpton getting involved?
This is no joke. The Real Estate Observer is reporting that Al Sharpton is going to step up to the plate to bat for Ratner's Atlantic Yard proposal. As of now, Sharpton is batting 0 for 1 for taxpayer-subsidized development controversies, after throwing his support behind the ill-fated Jets stadium.
The pronouncement that Sharpton will make his annoucement was made today by State Assemblyman Roger Green who "plead guilty to to padding his travel expenses last year." Fortunately for Green's constituents, is was only a misdemeanor (not a felony) and he was able to run again.
