New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg says the troubled rebuilding of the World Trade Center Site project would be better off if developer Larry Silverstein was booted out. “Abandoning his usually bland statements of support, the mayor said for the first time that New York would be better off if Silverstein were booted from the site. ‘It would be in the city’s interest to get Silverstein out, [but] nobody can figure out how to do it yet. And can you imagine the stink if you gave him half a billion dollars or a billion dollars in profit to get him out’?”
