WATCH: Politicians Slam City For Broken Promises Over Unfinished Bronx Plaza

New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer, joined by Councilman Rafael Salamanca, Jr, NYS Assemblywoman Carmen Arroyo, and local business owners and residents, held a press conference in front of the unfinished Roberto Clemente Plaza which has yet to be completed after years of delays.

To echo the politicians who spoke at the rally, this is not just neglect, not just incompetence but just a continuation of a tale of two cities.

This would not happen in Manhattan.

If the constant delays doesn’t make you angry then this will.

The costs of the plaza have soared from originally costing $300,000 to a hefty price tag of $13 million now.
