Man this article is looking to boost Levine up for some reason. Looking to give him credit for the whole thing.
Incompetent de Blasio team whiffs on $1 billion Bronx boost
While Mayor Bill de Blasio has been awful at handling NYC’s crime spree, he’s also striking out on development deals like the Yankees’ garage redevelopment plan, Charles Gasparino writes.nypost.com
"He put together a package that appeared to satisfy everyone. In exchange for approval for the soccer stadium, he agreed to build a new school, affordable housing and other facilities on land occupied by some of the garages. He did it with private money. Thousands of jobs in the South Bronx would be created."
LMAO.
It's pretty clear Levine or his staff sourced the entire thing.
Yeah that piece is a hatchet job on DeBlasio for sure. The Post is happy to run it, they hate him.
Grey sections are not for sale and 109, 110, 111C and 108C are mostly empty club sections:
The AP called it. It's over. The CFG slush fund will be in full force.
Lets hope the bronx board is quick to get back to discussions in Sept!
NYC F.C. stadium kerfuffle explained, sort of, if you’re not picky about what qualifies as an “explanation”
Last week I griped that Big Media like Fox Business wasn't telling us what's in the term sheet for a new NYC F.C. stadium even after its reporters got a look at it, and never let it be said that FoS readers (and Small Media) aren't eager to help out, because Chris Campbell of the...

Pulitzer nominee claim[edit]
Gasparino has been touted as a "Pulitzer Prize nominee" in his bio from Fox Business, which said he was "nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in beat reporting" in 1992, when he was a reporter for The Wall Street Journal.[13] The same claim is made by his agents at the HarperCollins Speakers Bureau,[14] and on the website of his publisher, Simon and Schuster.[15] In a promotional video in 2008 for CNBC, his former employer, Gasparino declared, "I am: a writer, son of an ironworker, son of New York, Golden Gloves prospect, a Pulitzer Prize nominee..." In 2012, Pulitzer Prize winning investigative reporter Bill Dedman of NBC News pointed out that Gasparino had been one of hundreds of entrants in the Pulitzer contest and had never been one of the nominees, which are chosen by Pulitzer juries.[16][17][18] The Pulitzer Prizes board warns entrants against claiming to be nominees: "Nominated Finalists are selected by the Nominating Juries for each category as finalists in the competition. ... We discourage someone saying he or she was 'nominated' for a Pulitzer simply because an entry was sent to us."[19] Gasparino initially responded to NBC, "I was nominated by the wsj sir." Later that day, Fox changed his bio, saying that his work "was submitted for the Pulitzer."[16]

Where this all started today, was I was doing some digging on some other items and wanted to get a better sense of where the Levine quotes came from since I had just been able to drop my contact info with someone from their FO who will hopefully (but not getting my hopes up too much) be able to get me some responses to some lingering questions that just don't line up and I stumbled upon that tweet of him slamming other outlets being way behind him so decided to note that he was still a week behind everything (probably shouldn't have done so, but I couldn't help myself).
festivus was on last night. Might be the single best episode of any sitcom in television history. So much goes on in that episode.
