Ten years ago, the City Council granted an extension with the hopes that the arena would eventually relocate. Dolan wants to make the permit, like the abatement, permanent, but city Democrats are unlikely to grant such a favor.

Today in Labor History February 16, 1934: Thousands of Socialists battled Communists at a rally in New York’s Madison Square Garden. 20 were injured in the melee. The rally was organized to protest the massacre of 1,000 Austrian socialists by the fascist regime of Englbert Dollfuss. 5,000 members of the Communist Party violently disrupted the meeting to prevent Matthew Woll, of the AFL, and New York Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia, from speaking. They threw chairs from the balcony.
