Bob Lonsberry had written a blog on January 7th with his opinion on the Medley Centre Project. Make sure to read some of the comments following the blog.
" And at a time when New York is collapsing financially, when every single penny of tax money is precious, how can anybody possibly put this place on rich-people welfare? “Development money” is nothing but welfare for fat cats.
And we're tired of that.
If this project is such a great idea, if it is such a sure-fire hit, then let it pay for itself. Let it go forward without a taxpayer subsidy. Let it borrow the money it needs from banks, instead of from the taxpayers, and let it pay its share of property tax just like everybody else."
Boo yah, Bob!
