If only they could have flashed how much slush money each council member that voted yes received of the 20 million dollars that mayor admitted to plus indirect money via other routes. Christine Quinn was laughable mentioning the other big joke in NYC, the conflict of interest committee that apparently never sees any conflicts of interest. One council member stated he voted yes and he did not receive any money from the mayor.
Also note John Sexton, Pres. of NYU, the no. 1 real estate magnate in NY and not for profit to boot, ran down to testify on behalf of mayor Bloomberg to protect NYU"s real estate need and greed to expand. The mayor's competition would never support NYU's tear down.
I do feel Bloomberg is in like Errol Flynn already because he has so much money to buy popularity.
