Professor Hill's Men Mobs, and Law
Natural Resonance Revolution
In this quote of a speech from 2008 by Professor Rebecca Hill of the Borough of Manhattan Community College, the proposed Atlantic Yards project again appears as what is wrong with priorities when it comes to spending public money.
"Mayor Bloomberg says that CUNY is 'asking for too much,'" Hill said, nodding her head in disgust. "However, the mayor has not experienced such sticker shock when evaluating whether or not to publicly fund private construction projects for the New York Yankees, New York Mets, the Bronx terminal market, and the New Jersey Nets arena in Brooklyn's Atlantic Yards. CUNY is at least as important to New York City as those wealthy sports teams and real estate developers who have taken billions of dollars in tax-abatements and incentives since 2001, don't you think?"
