NYC stadiums to evade legislative vote?
New York City councilperson Christine Quinn is charging that the city government is planning an end run around legislative oversight for its planned $600 million Jets stadium subsidy, by creating a local development corporation that could spend money without needing the approval of the city council or state legislature. We're not sure how this would work - the development corporation would have to get ahold of tax money somehow, which would normally require a state vote, at least - but stay tuned to this space for further developments.
