Stephen Witt reports on Gargano's random speculation of a "November surprise" from the Dolans (owners of MSG), and that Silver's position is not yet set in stone:
The ESDC is expected to approve the plan after a mandatory 10-day waiting period and then it heads to the Public Authorities Control Board (PACB) for final approval.The PACB is made up of Silver, Senate Majority Leader Joe Bruno and Governor Pataki. If any of these parties reject a project, it must go back to the drawing board.
Silver spokesperson Skip Carrier said Silver is in consultation with the Brooklyn assembly delegation and is still reviewing the project.
“He has not made a decision yet,” said Carrier, but noted that Silver supported the giving of $100 million in state funds for infrastructure improvements toward the project.
MSG spokesperson Barry Watkins refused to comment Gargano’s speculation except to say that they are disappointed in the remarks.
