Another cash cow of sorts is the convention center -- because it never stops mooing for cash. Our
StinkyInky, which can make George Babbitt seem like the enemy of civic boosterism, has been gung-ho for our convention center expansion even though it admits it will lose tens of millions (EDDIE!!!!! reasoning it's supposed to bring in all sorts of tourist dollars -- get it?). Now
Gov. REFORM of Noo Yawk may spend $4 billion -- only $7,272.73 a SQUARE FOOT! -- on an expansion of his own, money that could go to more useful pursuits...like football stadiums.
The convention center expansion is the civic equivalent of breast implants.
