The Real Estate Observer on the Empire State Development Corporation's appeal on the conflict-of-interest ruling:
An E.S.D.C. spokeswoman was not able to confirm the move or comment immediately, but Goldstein said he thought the agency was just inviting bad publicity. “Why are they going to the mat to defend this guy?” he told us. “This guy” being David Paget, who represented developer Forest City Ratner and then, on Ratner’s request, was hired by E.S.D.C. to advise on the environmental review process.
The move to appeal was carried by The NY Times in Metro Briefs (see, "STATE WILL APPEAL LAWYER'S DISQUALIFICATION").
