It's Unbelievable
In today's Observer article about Forest City Ratner
paying Al D'Amato $400,000 to lobby against eminent domain reform in Washington,
DC, there is a humdinger from a Forest City Ratner spokesman that deserves attention:
...In a statement, Forest City said it strives for transparency with
its lobbying reports, suggesting an explanation for the high numbers. “When
it comes to lobbying reports, we definitely err on the side of disclosure, including
even law firms that do work for us,” Forest City spokesman Loren Riegelhaupt
said in a statement. “When it comes to sharing information with the
public and governmental bodies, there’s no such thing as too much, as far as
we are concerned."
(Emphasis added.)
Norman Oder asks on his Atlantic Yards Report: OK, then, how big
would Miss
Brooklyn be? And why no comment on the slush
fund story?
We agree with Riegelhaupt, there indeed is no such thing as too much;
it's always too little with Ratner and information.
