Ka-ching! Barclays Bank(?) seeking to give NLG $6.2 million!
Could this be the reparations everyone is seeking from the bank with alleged ties to some of recent history's most shameful institutions? [Gotcha! We're talking about Forest City Ratner and the Empire State Development Corporation.]
Maybe the British bank is hoping to silence NoLandGrab with an early retirement plan. Or, might this be the windfall that we deserve for a job well done?
This just landed in the ole NLG mailbox:
