Pfizer – New London CT – Eminent Domain – Atlantic Yards

The Cross Pollinator

TCP blogger Steven Walcott adds his two cents after excerpting a couple bits from the New York Times story posted below.

Anyone who thinks that property tax reductions and promises of jobs for normal folks justifies eminent domain for corporate purposes should read this article about Pfizer and eminent domain in Connecticut.

Anyone who thinks the giant turd called Atlantic Yards is really for anything other than Bruce Ratner’s bottom line and Mayor Bloomberg’s ego/legacy are deluding themselves.

These companies expect full ass kissing and bending over, and when they don’t get it they tip out.
