New York Governor George Pataki’s decision to bar the International Freedom Center’s proposed museum from Ground Zero apparently didn’t sit well with members of the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation, who yesterday issued an extraordinary rebuke of the governor. “The board cannot do much beyond complain, since the Freedom Center declared itself to be out of business almost immediately after Governor Pataki removed the museum from the cultural building last week. Yet their complaints amounted to remarkable political theater in a process where intramural disagreements are usually kept well hidden. The board members’ willingness to speak openly about their frustration almost certainly reflects a high degree of discouragement and even anger.”
