What a Difference Party Affiliation Makes
Daily Gotham
Mole333 explains how a small chorus of local pols are calling out the rest of the politicians who are tyring to outdo one another by throwing money at Bruce Ratner's controversial Atlantic Yards plan.
Everything goes screwy when Democrat-turned-Republican-turned-Independent Mayor Bloomberg calls on the former-reformer Eliot Spitzer to veto legislation that includes a special windfall for the developer Brooklyn loves to hate.
But wait...how can Republican Bloomberg give away taxpayer money to Ratner then Independent Bloomberg complain about the state giving taxpayer money to Ratner? Wow! What a difference a change of party affiliation makes! Is Bloomberg abandoning crony capitalism along with the Republican Party? Boy THAT would be sweet!
This would be a good time for Spitzer to show us what he's worth. How about putting a stop to these giveaways to Ratner?
