More Legal Woes
The Keno fallout has been steady, and here comes another round, from the other end. Not a good year for the community. This one, greedy Property Owners winning NY State Supreme court cases against cities & towns, forcing a reimbursment for "Loss" (said owner wasn't allowed to build two strip malls) - incurred from rezonings. The implications of such a victory are vomit inducing from any one of a number of perspectives. I'm sure the LI town of Brookhaven has the capital, ha. Read on with this New York Times piece... and with this Newsday piece... A Pace Law essay on related moves in terms of land use - by the State, and thru the courts. Loss, I'll give you evidence of loss, and sue your ass right back, and let me tell you, the figures on backpayment for community loss are bigger than your accrued rent from Island Tan and Blockbuster.
