Fulop Calls Bullshit On Lipski's Embankment Maneuver

The Sixth Street Embankment controversy continued as the council attempted to vote on an ordinance requiring developer Steve Hyman to prove Conrail granted the city an opportunity to buy the property-- a ploy that is likely only intended to stall redevelopment of the embankment in the hopes of deterring Hyman from building condos. Lipski, who was not at the meeting, tabled the vote through Councilman Gaughan by informing him there was "new information." Downtown councilman Steve Fulop referred to the maneuver by the highly technical term: "bullshit." Literally.
