Atlantic Yards YES! 13,500 City Jobs, NO! 3,750 City Workers, NO!!
Today, Mayor Bloomberg is expected to announce the elimination of 13,500 city jobs, 3,750 through layoffs. So far, there are no plans to cutback the $205 million in direct cash subsidies for Bruce Ratner's eminent domain-abusing Atlantic Yards overdevelopment.
