Yanks support shaky?
Bronx delegation split, says community’s Council member
Metro NY
By Patrick Arden
Here's one article about this week's Yankee Stadium City Council hearing that points out that the approval isn't a done deal, despite the lack of media coverage of the opposition to the project:
“Many Council members have concerns, many more than the media realizes,” said Foster, who represents the Highbridge neighborhood and opposes the project. “The Bronx delegation isn’t completely on board yet. I don’t see how between now and Wednesday the issues that we have can be resolved.”
OnNYTurf has taken the point and compiled a list of key City Councilmembers to contact to make your opinion heard on this very important vote.
Railyards, city parks -- these are public assets that Mayor Bloomberg has been hell-bent to hand over to sports teams despite inflated claims of economic benefit.
