Yonkers councilwoman: No subpoena in federal probe
The Journal News
By Michael Gannon and Jorge Fitz-Gibbon
The lastest news from Yonkers, concerning the subpoenas and federal probe into the City Council's dealings with Forest City Ratner, is that the Council Member representing the swing vote to approve the controversial Ridge Hill plan has NOT received a subpoena and has NOT retained a lawyer. [Which usually means the Yonkers rumor mill is focusing on the Council Member, and she should think seriously about retaining a lawyer.]
The City Councilwoman who cast the deciding vote for a zoning change needed to build Ridge Hill Village has not received a subpoena in a federal probe into the council's handling of the $600 million development, she told The Journal News yesterday.
But Democratic Councilwoman Sandy Annabi would not comment on whether she had spoken to a lawyer in response to the investigation, focused at least in part on the council's actions on Ridge Hill. All six other members of the Yonkers City Council last week said they had not.
NoLandGrab: And don't forget yesterday's news, in which Forest City Ratner had to waste their breath explaining that everything "was done properly and legally."
