Maybe The City Comptroller Can Take Over The Property From EDC . . .
That would be a switch! Funny how that sometimes works out:
Posted: June 10th, 2008 | Filed under: Grandstanding, That's An Outrage!, Things That Make You Go "Oy", Tragicomic, Ironic, Obnoxious Or AbsurdOne of the biggest water bill deadbeats in New York City is the Economic Development Corporation, according to an audit released by the city comptroller’s office on Monday.
William C. Thompson Jr., the comptroller, said that the corporation had not paid any water or sewer bills for 22 years at the Brooklyn Army Terminal in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, a building of commercial and light industrial space controlled by the corporation.
The unpaid bills totaled $4.5 million.
In a press conference, Mr. Thompson said he was outraged that the agency was so delinquent, not only in failing to pay its bills but also in not contacting the city’s Department of Environmental Protection, which runs the water system, since 1989.
