Re: the golf course:
"The city finally dumped Gagne from the project in 2006 - after paying him a $7 million termination fee - just months after a Daily News investigation exposed mob-connected firms that were profiting from dumping construction debris at the former landfill"

Job well done NYC! Gee how'd we get a budget deficit? Must've been taking accounting lessons from the MTA.
