MTA Faces 2nd Lawsuit Over Stadium
by Andrea Bernstein
NEW YORK, NY April 18, 2005 —The MTA is facing a second lawsuit for its decision to transfer its Hudson rail Yards to the New York Jets.
Now its the straphangers campaign and three government watchdog groups. In a case filed in state supreme court, the groups allege the MTA violated its legal obligations to get the best price for its assets and to conduct a fair bidding process.
State Senator Eric Schneiderman is representing the groups. He says the case law is clear.
SCHNEIDERMAN: cause there are plenty of cases less egregious than this where the courts have reversed agency actions.
The groups say Madison Square Garden's bid for the site is also too low. But they are seeking to join the garden's May 3 hearing asking a judge to halt the transfer. That judge has said he'll rule by May 10.
