In 2012, then-Mayor Michael Bloomberg gave Donald Trump control of a $236 million public golf course at Ferry Point and threw in a slew of giveaways that include a low revenue-sharing plan with the city and free water. No other city golf course enjoys these perks.

How many ways do you spell sweetheart deal?
Former Mayor Michael Bloomberg apparently wasnt satisfied with simply handing Donald Trump control over one of the most expensive public golf courses ever built in this country the new $236 million, 18-hole Parks Department course scheduled to open next spring at Ferry Point Park in the Bronx.
Bloombergs aides quietly added a slew of financial giveaways in the 2012 deal with The Donald that no other city golf course concessionaire enjoys, a Daily News review of Parks Department golf contracts has found.
Those giveaways include: no concession fees for four years; then decades of extraordinarily low revenue-sharing with the city; tens of millions of gallons of free water annually; even a five-year delay for Trump to build a $10 million clubhouse, his only major capital investment in the project.
Start with the greens fees, the basic charge for a round of golf; virtually all of the citys existing 13 public golf courses charge $48 per person during weekend peak hours, higher for non-city residents.
But the new Trump National Golf Course at Ferry Point plans to charge nearly three times as much $125 per person.
Trumps split of revenues with the city, however, will be far less than all other courses.

So, you go with liberal euro definitions rather than classic American to argue your points?
Telling....American definition of Fascism is leftwing, not right.
Good job.
Right.. and " SOME " here think he's ALL patriotic or something.. jeese..
Talk about Little Red Riding-Hood..
Well-played!
Another spitball from GeronL. His/her personal hatred of Trump trumps all - country be damned.
Yeah...right into a big beautiful....WALL!!
Trump to Pelosi: “You’re the best!”
The slavish, cultic support of the Phony is what is sad.
That's all good. Why not just kick back and enjoy observing all the DC and media elitists squirm?
You must be hallucinating. Note, it is Cruz who invited Trump to speak at Cruz’s rally in Sept to speak against the Iran deal.
And it is Ted Cruz who visits Trump tower to meet his godfather.
American definition of Fascism is leftwing, not right.
Socialism and Fascism is the SAME THING..
Hitler/Stalin were socialist, Mussolini was fascist..
ALL OWNED THE ENTIRE bird.. FROM FEET TO BEAK.. WING TO WING..
Trump is a fascist very comfortable with socialists..
and can do business with either.. i.e. crony capitalist..
Who built Hitlers MACHINE socialists NO fascists i.e. KRUPP etc..
Crony capitalists ARE Fascists..
Trump is the biggest FRAUD ever
Reagan to Democrats: I am joining you because because I believe you are the best. And then Reagan became a registered democrat union activist.
SO?
Does that make him ineligible to morph into a great conservative later?
You are not thinking deep and logical enough.
And it is Ted Cruz who visits Trump tower to meet his godfather.
Cruz’s cunning goes right over yer head.. AND Trump’s..
“The slavish, cultic support of the Phony is what is sad.”
No Geron. Speaking for myself, I support Trump based on a rational assessment of what I think he would do as President, flaws and all. You’re slavish hatred of him prevents you from doing this.
Based on your OPINION? Bwahahahaha
That little old lady never got the boot, and she worked for years trying to blackmail developers into paying her millions for her piece of trash little bit of property. She later sold it for 500,000, half the price of what Trump originally offered her. A good punishment really.
Reagan was already conservative, he was a well-known and long-time conservative. Go listen to his old radio pitches.
Trump has never ever been a conservative.
He isn’t an economic conservative
He is not a social conservative
He is not a moral conservative
Never has been, never will be.
Yap, and that “cunning” is keeping him under 7%.
Trump’s among the best at negotiations. Thanks for posting this.
