Jets vote postponed; sun rises in east
Surprise! Turns out it wasn't Gov. George Pataki or state house speaker Sheldon Silver who postponed tomorrow's pending New York Jets stadium vote, but rather state senate majority leader Joe Bruno, who tonight officially asked for a one-month delay, saying he wants more information about the stadium plan. What sort of information? Oh, stuff like how it would be paid for and who would run it - you know, little things.
So reset your Jets stadium-watch calendar to June 22, which is the next time Pataki, Silver, and Bruno's flunky get together as the Public Authorities Control Board that gets to give this stadium the thumbs-up or -down. In the meantime, you can enjoy perusing photos of the dueling stadium rallies.
