While Moses didn't put money in his own pocket or outwardly bribe anyone, he was corrupt by using his position to indirectly bribe people he courted by giving them lavish box seats at his Jones Beach Theater which he expressly built for that purpose. That's why as Caro put it the productions changed only once each season, so Moses could be sure that all his friends saw each one. Logic would have dictated that the shows change more often if it was designed to serve the public and do well financially. Most of the seats often remained empty because few wanted to see the same show twice.You are right in what you said about Westway. Without Moses, and the NIMBYs in power. all we got is an obsolete boulevard. |
