Spitzer is giving his support to the Yards deal. From his gov. campaign:
Eliot is pleased that the City and the MTA have come to an agreement on the Hudson Yards that will allow the MTA to receive fair value through an auction process for this important asset while enabling the city to move forward with its financing for an extension of the No. 7 line. We hope the MTA and the City will move expeditiously to complete this auction process.
