Mayor Bloomberg is ratcheting up the tough talk over Brooklyn Bridge Park, saying at a press conference that if the state doesn't turn over control of the park to the city, "we'll turn it over to them." The current split of the funding is $146 million from the city and $85 million from the state, with Bloomberg looking to pull money from the delayed Javits Center renovation to close the remaining budget gap. A spokesperson for the governor said both sides are working on a deal. [NYDN, previously]
