Ratner to sign Carter
Reportedly, Nets owner and Atlantic Yards developer Bruce Ratner is set to re-sign star shooting guard Vince Carter to a contract extension.
These developments are in the wake of news that Ratner might receive a windfall tax exemption by way of a special clause in the 421-a reform bill, which would also raise rates on low-income tenants. [Read: Ratner has to make his money somewhere because subsidizing a money-losing basketball franchise can make a businessman grumpy.]
Here are some of the Carter headlines:
