Too bad that selfish Sheldon Silver blocked Mayor Bloomberg’s plan to give a billion-dollar gift of public money to the New York Jets to build a football stadium that might have been used for the Olympics.
After all, playing host to the Olympics would really have put New York on the map.
Now it’s doomed to be nothing but the financial and cultural capital of the world.
And all that land will have to be used for housing or open space or commercial development or something else much less vital than a stadium to be used eight times a year.
What a shame!
