City Comptroller Liu jumped into the constant battle of how to fund city parks by rejecting the Central Park Conversancy's $90 million contract with the city because he thinks the well-funded park needs to share the wealth. Liu disagrees with a provision that says the conservancy gets to keep half the money brought in from events and concessions; instead, he says more should go to the Parks Department to fund other, needier parks. However, Bloomberg agrees with the conservancy, so nothing is likely to change. [NYDN; previously]
