Another Paterson Proposal Fails to Impress

cityfile · 01/29/10 11:54AM

Gov. David Paterson could probably save $2.1 million a year by not having 200 state troopers assigned to protect him. Instead, he recently proposed that New York legalize "mixed martial arts" (or ultimate fighting, the "sport" that features two people beating each other to a pulp inside a cage)—a move Paterson says would generate $2.1 million a year in additional tax revenue. It turns out that most New Yorkers aren't ultimate fighting fans: According to a new poll, 68% of state voters say they're opposed to the idea. Too bad the pollsters didn't ask if people would be more inclined to support the proposal if the matches involved politicians in Albany. That could be a real moneymaker! [NYDN]

On Monday, the owners of Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village gave up control of the sprawling apartment complex after defaulting on its loans. (Tishman Speyer and BlackRock paid $5.4 billion for the property at the height of the housing bubble; it's now worth less than half of that.) Now the Post reports a bidding war is breaking out as various real estate companies look to take over control of the complex, and—as if Stuy Town residents haven't suffered enough the past few months—one of the contenders is none other than Donald Trump.
