Baseball. Blogging. Whenever.Wednesday, December 17, 2008The House That Corruption BuiltWe've long known that the Bloomberg Administration bent over to deliver all manner of financial favors to the Yankees, but now the emails are out, and it's pretty ugly:Mayor Bloomberg's aides secretly pressured city tax assessors to inflate the value of land under the new Yankee Stadium so the team could qualify for nearly $1 billion in tax-free bonds, city e-mails show. This is important, because the higher assessment allowed the Yankees to take advantage of a billion bucks in tax-exempt bonds that an honest assessment would not have. New Yankee Stadium is built on a foundation of graft. The sad thing is, this fact will almost certainly not be mentioned by the announcers when the Bombers take the field for the first game in April because there will be too many fancy baubles on which to train the cameras.

@Jason - Failed to mention the savings from not renting the movie can be applied to your purchasing tickets to see the Yankees play at the House that Bloomberg built. Posted 12/18 at 03:50 PM

@Moose: good point x2. (particularly since I work for a cable company) as for tickets, unless I get invited, I won’t be there this year. Posted 12/18 at 05:54 PM
