Taxpayers on legal hook for Bloomberg's folly

Eminent domain legal fee reimbursement decision by unitedtriangle


From Willets Point United:

New York State Supreme Court judge Jaime A. Rios has denied a motion made by the city to dismiss the claim of Willets Point United Inc. ("WPU") seeking reimbursement of legal and expert fees incurred by WPU when defending against the city's failed attempt to use eminent domain to forcibly acquire our properties.

The decision means that WPU's claim against the city in the amount of $1,102,035.41 is valid, and will proceed in court. We are confident that the city will have to pay the fees that we are entitled to recover – adding to the already exorbitant amount of city funds being spent to pursue the proposed Willets Point development.


Way to go, EDC!

Apelian is happy enough with the printing contracts he gets for his "Prestone" firm.

I don't know what the other CB#7 members get.
Jack Bitterman (and wife Marilyn?) got freebie passes for the US Open (VIP tent and food included).

Kelty's happy with an open bar.
