Here here. Somehow the Yankees have no problem spending $450 million dollars on THREE players this offseason and still asking, YOU dear reader, to pony up another $259 million in tax-exempt bonds and $111 million in taxable bonds. This would be on TOP of the nearly ONE BILLION dollars taxpayers are already on the hook for. The Mets are begging for another $83 million in addition to the $615 million taxpayers are "helping" the Mets with.
Well one New York State Assemblyman, Richard Brodsky, is asking for a delay in the January 16th vote as he doesn't think there has been enough public input and not nearly enough questions asked about WHY these ballclubs will be taking so much and giving so little back in jobs and revenue to the city, NEED more and more and more taxpayer money.
Fight on Mr. Brodsky, NOW is the time to turn back these arrogant requests. The Yankees and Mets can't threaten to move elsewhere at this point. Make them use actual turnstile revenue to pay this back to themselves.
