The irony is almost too rich too stomach. Kate Murray finally got religion on the project and now wants to jump start it. Maybe she shouldn't have treated two great local entrepreneurial pioneers like five year olds in the first place. She should have been working with Wang, Rechler and, heaven forbid, even Suozzi from the beginning. Instead, she opted for using the opportunity for political grandstanding. It's totally understandable that the town needed to perform it's own due diligence, but it should have been handled in a way that didn't frustrate ALL interested parties, ESPECIALLY the taxpayers who would significantly benefit from the project. Now she wants to trash some of the best elements of a project that isn't hers, and defer final culpability to an outside consultant (who is no doubt connected). Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the town have a building department and zoning board already? How about they do the job they are paid to do instead of wasting taxpayer money. If Wang does indeed walk away from the project, it will be the single biggest squandered opportunity in Long Island history. In the meantime, we're going to have to watch Murray and her colleagues squirm and duck for cover from this monumental blunder.
