Financing Atlantic Yards

According to Atlantic Yards Report, Ratner's going to be headed out on a dog-and-pony show to China to get a few hundred wealthy Chinese to cough up a million bucks apiece to finance Atlantic Yards. What do they get in return? A green card!

Or, as the story goes, the Chinese laborers that were bussed into the hotel builing sites in Dutch Kills and when Baloney Maloney's office was contacted to complain the story around the nabe is that a staffer said this is not the sort of thing a Congressperson is involved in.

Now $50 million to help develpers at the Plaza or $XX millions to help suburban communters not even in her distict in a tunnel, well, front 'n center boys!
