Progressive Democrat Issue 121: NYC FOCUS

Mole's Progressive Democrat

I want to keep pushing this because it is heating up. There was an article recently that suggested the $205 million taxpayer money the city wants to give Ratner is a done deal. I talked to someone in Councilman Yassky's office and they say it is NOT a done deal and the final vote will not come down until sometime in June. So we really need to push on this.
