The Atlantic Yards ombudsman cometh, finally, and the questions begin
Atlantic Yards Report
Norman Oder weighs in on the much-anticipated appointment of the Atlantic Yards Ombudsman, and wonders just how direct the "direct information" he'll provide to the public will be:
It's hard to imagine that Taylor will pry more out of the agency than it has already said, but it's also hard to imagine that such questions will stop.
Such challenges may cause the ESDC to try to draw a line between questions that are "informational"--easily accessible as long as the right people/agencies are queried--and those that are "political" and "legal," the answers for which the ESDC has said all that it will say because of internal or legal constraints.
Can Taylor do a credible job while maintaining the credibility of such boundaries? He'll surely have opportunities to prove his value.
