On Room Eight
I'll be linking Room Eight as I do any other site that covers city politics, but here's a quick round-up of the first few days.
EnWhySeaWonk offers an illustrated report card on the candidates for Attorney General's aptitude at filling out required forms.
Looking at Brooklyn's congressional races, Gatemouth curses Charles Barron, while Rock Hackshaw reports that Nick Perry is still in the race in Brooklyn's 11th.
Yoda doesn't think the arguments for the Jets stadium are holding up too well in retrospect, and Lead Dog sniffs around the New Yankee Stadium deal. Jerry Skurnik suggests the Post forgot its cop-funeral crusade pretty fast. Robert Hornak wishes Republicans would start talking about school choice. And Backroomie does some City Council math.
VERY INTERESTING . I LIKE IT.
Wow, Yoda. That was some true insight.
Not to beat a dead horse any more than it needs to be, but the proposed west side stadium wasn't actually a dome- it had a retractable roof. That way, the Jets would have enjoyed their open air stadium, and in the off-season the space would have been used for conventions, the final four, etc.
Who cares anyway? Why talk about something that died a YEAR ago?
