Suffering From Fuzzy Math

Courier-Life

Brooklyn resident Robert Puca proves that you don't have to be a rocket scientist to do math, but you probably shouldn't be a reporter.

I would like to see a correction for the article written by Stephen Witt, β€œIndependent Oversight of Atlantic Yds. Project.”

Mr. Witt writes, β€œThe money committed... toward the project represents a little more than 10 percent of the $200 million the city and state gave to FCRC for infrastructure costs.”

My calculator places that percentage at 0.13%, to be exact.

Looking forward to your reply,

Robert Puca

NoLandGrab: That makes the Courier-Life figure off by... more than alot.
