Judge rules voters to decide fate of Yankee Stadium
A New York judge ruled that voters should decide if tax money will fund a new Yankee Stadium in Manhattan, siding with City Council Speaker Peter Vallone and the council in a dispute with Mayor Giuliani over placing the referendum on the ballot. The decision upholds public input on a project with potential hundreds of millions in government funding, while noting the stadium’s Bronx site as the favored home for the Yankees.
