The Scrapbook

Today's call-in for Westsiders on the bids for the railyards generated many calls and emails. Here are a couple of email selections:

from an email in support of the Cablevision proposal:
The two bids on the table for the Rail yards both underline the need for further open and honest proposals for the site. Being pressured into an unrealistic timeline by the Olympic decision is unfair to the future of the west side, where the influence of which ever bid is accepted will be with us for decades to come. -- F.L.

. . . Isn't amazing that the MTA, Bloomberg, and Pataki have not at
least thanked Cable Vision for forcing the JETS to raise their BID?! And
they say they want the most value out of the property, . . . --W.

Tomorrow's show will feature an interview with stadium supporter Congressman Charles Rangel (D-NY's 15th District-Upper Manhattan and Queens) and a round-up of the news on the competing bids with WNYC reporter Andrea Bernstein.
