The City Council’s contracts committee takes up the Harbor Yard amphitheater tomorrow night. As Brian Lockhart reports, the Sound Tigers aren’t waiting for that:
(Islanders owner Jon) Ledecky (in August) hinted at legal action. On Monday his vice president, Jay Itzkowitz, issued by letter a specific ultimatum: Approve the deal with (amphitheater developer Howard) Saffan — who was the Tigers’ president until 2015 — and the team will terminate its contract “rendering the arena vacant” and seek monetary damages based on “the remaining 14 years (with extension) of the operating agreement.”
