The Yankees underpaid 11 million in taxes. The estimated revenue is 15 million. Hmmm... Don't rename the Triborough Bridge, save $4 million, collect taxes from shortchanging sports teams like the Yankees, add $11 million. Adds up to $15 million. Madison Square Garden STILL has a tax exemption that saves them about $11 million a year. Somehow the mayor wants to pass a plastic bag tax to raise much needed revenue.

HAHA, #1, you want to stop talking about Palin now because she wasn't bashed on this one. Don't worry, the neo-libs have decided she is next in line to be hated since Bush will be gone.
