Foes' latest plan seems fishy
NY Daily News
Columnist Errol Louis says WE can't be trusted, but meanwhile, journalists had to pull teeth to obtain top-secret info from Forest City Ratner, like how far from the curb Ratner plans on building the glass-walled arena:
Opponents of two mega-projects - Atlantic Yards in Brooklyn and the Columbia University expansion in West Harlem - have lately taken to arguing that the deals should be halted because potentially dire security concerns haven't been thoroughly examined.
The public should take these complaints with a grain of salt. Every sane person wants to make sure new development is done safely - but project opponents, desperate to kill these projects by any means, are hardly the kind of trustworthy and neutral authorities to decide what's safe and what's not.
Meanwhile, hearty saltwater anglers are still fishing the fall run:
It's not surprising that die-hard opponents are searching for a modern version of the striped bass. But I strongly suspect they are fishing in empty waters.
