THANK YOU, SHELLY SILVER
NY Post, editorial
Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver came through for New York City big-time Wednesday in approving a huge new development project for Brooklyn.
For that, he deserves the city's thanks.
Within three years, if all goes well, the borough will have its own major-league sports team - the Nets - for the first time in half a century.
Work on 16 buildings and an arena for the team might start as soon as next year.
...
Think jobs. Customers for businesses. Housing. Office space. Tax revenue.
NoLandGrab: We're trying to think positive here, but we're still stuck on "eminent domain, boondoggle and traffic."
