They have one aim, and that is to save the Garden, an antiquated frump in need of an extreme makeover, from competition by a stadium that would also serve as an entertainment venue and annex to the Javits Convention Center, as well as be the centerpiece venue of the 2012 Olympic Games.[/quote]

[quote]Such a claim is a lie worthy of prosecution under the laws against false advertising. Here is the truth: The city and state jointly plan to borrow $600 million to pay for improvements that will make the stadium a convention center annex. The money will be repaid, plus profit, out of tax revenue generated by the facility - as every independent analysis has projected. Not one cent of the $600 million will come out of the operating budget that pays for city services.[/quote]
