Bloomberg gets Yanks, Mets numbers wrong
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg declared on his radio show last Friday that "the city and the state, to my recollection, each put in $75 million" for each of the new Mets and Yankees stadiums. As regular readers of this site should recall, the actual city/state cost is about triple the mayor's estimate, with the federal government getting hit up for a share as well.
More details in my op-ed today in Metro NY, or at the newly updated Yanks/Mets stadium cost spreadsheet.
