[quote]"Javits Expansion Deal
"The governor and legislative leaders are close to a deal that would allow the expansion of the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center" without tying it to the Jets stadium, Crain's New York Business reports in this week's issue. "An agreement could be struck as early as this week." The deal reportedly includes an agreement "for greater spending on low-cost housing in the city" (to please Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, a Democrat who represents the Lower East Side), and "new spending for convention centers in other New York cities" (to please Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno, an upstate Republican.)"[/quote]
