Saturday Morning Special
Field of Schemes:
One of the competing bidders for a Pittsburgh casino slots license lashed out at the Penguins for refusing to commit to the state's "Plan B" arena plan. if the team's preferred arena partner isn't awarded the license: Forest City Enterprises co-chair Albert Ratner accused the Pens of refusing to chip in more for the arena in order "to sell the hockey team at a higher price." The irony: Albert Ratner's cousin Bruce is currently seeking public subsidies to build a new Nets arena in Brooklyn, to help justify the inflated price he and his partners paid for the team.
