Testifying Their Yankee Stadium Love
Two New York critics of the taxpayer-subsidized Yankee Stadium have been invited by Congressman (and presidential hopeful) Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, to appear before a House subcommittee on Thursday in Washington, D.C. The panel will hear testimony from Save Our Parks member Joyce Hogi and Village Voice writer Neil deMause. It's an oversight hearing, which means there is no pending legislation.
The hearing is called: "Build It and They Will Come: Do Tax Payer-Financed Sports Stadiums, Convention Centers and Hotels Deliver as Promised for America's Cities?"
Maybe not the catchiest campaign slogan, but Mr. Kucinich may end up picking up a few votes in the Bronx nonetheless.
The full media advisory is after the jump. read more »
