To: Michael Bloomberg, Mayor of New York City
Don't Let Mariott Swindle New Yorkers
Mayor Bloomberg: Renegotiate the lease agreement with the Marriott Marquis to ensure New Yorkers don't get swindled.
Why is this important?
Times Square's Marriott Marquis hotel sits on prime real estate in the heart of the city. But New Yorkers are on the hook for an unprecedented sweetheart deal worth more than $300 million. And that's the last thing hard working families in the city need, especially in these difficult times.
Our city is supposed to work for all New Yorkers, not just the wealthy and well connected.
We've seen one too many handouts for the rich. Let's get our priorities straight and focus our resources on getting New Yorkers back to work and rebuilding from the devastation of Hurricane Sandy.
