If I have to read that this is about “being a good neighbor” one more time, I might be forced to paint my face blue and orange and barricade myself inside the local State Farm office with enough ammo to finally bring us a World Series championship. Shit, that was out loud:

Some council members say they want commitments that reflect or include what the Yankees made to the Bronx in exchange for support of their new ballpark. “They’re getting a huge tax break at the expense of New Yorkers, and I think it’s very appropriate for them to be a good neighbor,” said Bayside Councilman Tony Avella on the Mets financing proposal that includes $165 million in state and city funds and tax-exempt bonds for their $800-million ballpark.

So far, the Mets have rejected a $1 million request for community support, countering with a $200,000 offer, council members said. More meetings are expected in coming days, council member John Liu said.
