Breaking news from the Brooklyn Papers:
Delay on expected Atlantic Yards vote because Sheldon Silver has questions about the project’s financing. 

New York 1 is reporting that Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver (D-Manhattan) has delayed Wednesday’s expected vote on Bruce Ratner’s Atlantic Yards mega-development because he “has questions” about the project’s financing.

The $4-billion project would require hundreds of millions in direct
and indirect public subsidies, but the actual size of the taxpayer
contribution to the project has never been released.

Silver, who controls one vote on the three-man Public Authorities
Control Board, has been feuding with Gov. Pataki, who supports the
project. In the recent past, Silver has used his PACB vote to block
other Pataki “legacy” projects, including the West Side stadium and the
Moynihan Station project.
