Judge Fires Ratner Lawyer!
Dope on the Slope on the judge's order to the Empire State Development Corporation to drop its outside counsel:
This is just the first of what are likely to be numerous legal challenges to the ill-conceived project, which Ratner is hoping to shove down the throats of Brooklyn taxpayers before they know what hit them, AND before his investors get skittish. Look for an increasing sense of urgency and panic in their PR in the coming months. Use of words like "naysayer" and "obstructionist" will increase as they seek to recharacterize the legitimate concerns of Brooklyn residents and taxpayers as a barrier to "progress." I don't think it will work though.
To parphrase the Rolling Stones...tiiiiiiiiiiime is on our side.
