NYC to RPA: Lay off our stadium
The board of New York's Regional Plan Association, which last month issued a report strongly criticizing the city's plan for a $1.4 billion Jets stadium, has put off a vote on taking a formal stand against the project, according to the New York Times, after city officials and business leaders bombarded them with calls. "It didn't change my mind," one board member told the Times of his phone call from deputy mayor Dan Doctoroff. "But whenever somebody like that calls, you have to pay attention because there are serious potential consequences. He makes important business decisions for the city."
