This Election Calls for Vote On Principle
The NY Sun columnist Alicia Colon cites the Billionaires for Bloomberg Development Plan as one of the reasons conservatives should votes their consciences and support Conservative Party candidate Thomas Ognibene.
Mr. Bloomberg has managed to grant Atlantic Yards to his friend Bruce Ratner, who is poised to make billions building expensive condominiums on the land surrounding the proposed Nets arena. Mr. Bloomberg tried to grab valuable land on the West Side for the Jets’ stadium and is eyeing Willets Point in Queens for a new Mets stadium. Olympics, football, baseball, my eye! It’s all about making billions. Meanwhile, developers who are not cozy with the mayor — the actor Danny Aiello and the principals of Stapleton Studios — had their Staten Island project quashed by the city’s Economic Development Corporation in spite of tremendous community support for it.
