>Gotta ask yourself why Abu Dhabi, who is awash in oil wealth, deserves $1.2 billion in subsidies, especially in this era of financial crisis. Because the pols in Albany are desperate to do something for the area... even if it's stupid. Not to mention, they love giving money to real estate developers. They tried to use $400 mil of state money to build a convention center that nobody would've visited. Fortunately, it looks like that project is dead. -Z
