Brodsky Badgers Gargano--One Last Time
The Real Estate Observer
By Matthew Schuerman
One of Assemblyman Richard Brodsky's favorite targets for cross-examination (maybe the favorite), is Charles Gargano, whom he is hauling before an Assembly hearing on Monday afternoon, less than two weeks before the Empire State Development Corporation chairman is supposed to step down.
The topic: the sale of the New York State office condominium at 633 Third Avenue, which Brodsky calls in a press release "at best puzzling and at worst illegal insofar as our understanding of the fact that the required appraisal of the property was not conducted."
...
Nothing mentioned in the announcement about Monday's hearing regarding Atlantic Yards, folks, but Javits, Moynihan and the Empire Zone program are on the table.
NoLandGrab: Atlantic Yards is shaping up to be one of the biggest boondoggles in recent history. With each incredible conclusion in the Atlantic Yards Environmental Impact Statement and the wrap-up of the lightning-fast public comment period, the ESDC is crying out, "REFORM ME!"
Can a politician focused on reform of NY State's public authorities be serious if they overlook Atlantic Yards?
