The Brian Lehrer Show: Charles Gargano, "Nets Gain?"
WNYC Radio
Brian Lehrer interviewed Charles Gargano, Chairman of the Empire State Development Corporation. Lehrer asked great questions and Gargano did a better job of not answering them.
Gargano explains how the state puts out an RFEI (Request for Expressions of Interest) to get the land use planning process started. He frequently mentions the 42nd Street redevelopment as an example of a successful State planning process and supports eliminating the "red tape" of the local land use review process.
What this has to do with Ratner's plan, where no Expressions of Interest were requested, is still a mystery.
