The city got a big win when Shirley Kornreich basically reversed herself on the Randalls Island ballfields matter. Real clear legal logic on that one: the contract to build is void but you can still keep building anyways.

That's because she needs Bloomberg's help to push Senate Republicans to confirm her for Steve Crane's Supreme Court seat. Her nomination was tabled after trial lawyers complained bitterly.

Senate Democrats might not view this blatent attempt to curry favor with the other side of the aisle so well.
