Not calling them selfish - I can't blame them (Heck, I worked for one of them for 6 years, my Mom for about 15 or 20). He just asked what the status is. I'm just saying they know all the right strings to pull. Not saying that pulling strings is wrong - that's part of life. Heck, if I was in their place, I'd do the same thing. A lot of what is down there has no other plase in the county to go. I can see both sides of it. The business men down there get screwed 6 ways to Sunday - the city won't put in sewers or sidewalks because "the stadium is coming" - not's of other problems - it was the dumping ground fo Queens for a long time. The city doesn't provide proper services down there - if something gets dumped, the Sanitation dept won't pick it up. It's crazy, and a catch 22
