Now that the feds, the states of New York and New Jersey and the city of New York have thrown in together to rent more than a third of the space in the Freedom Tower, the candidates for New York State governor are backing the plan too.
Democrat Eliot Spitzer and Republican John Faso are both backing the plan Gov. George Pataki has supported all along. Spitzer has criticized Freedom Tower plans but it seems Spitzer, like Faso who was expected to go along with the plan, has seen the handwriting on the wall.
Now all these politicians have to do is convince private tenants to sign on too. The word downtown on the streets surrounding Ground Zero is that it will be an uphill battle.

Oh, this is just too good to be true…politicians, candidates, AND the government (state and federal!) in such close quarters! Has there ever been a facility with this amount of hot air wafting through its corridors? With such fertile fodder for any creative, critical observor, how could there not be an outburst of enthusiastic tenants clamoring to be a part of this?
