Utilities Company Seeks to Evict Ground Zero Mosque Unless Developer Pays Up

Con Ed has given the Ground Zero mosque an ultimatum: Pay the $1.7 million you owe in back rent, or we’ll terminate your lease and take back our property.

But the plan hit a major obstacle in August when Con Ed raised the rent from $2,750 a month, a rate set in 1972, to $47,437 a month, retroactive to July 31, 2008, The Post has learned.

Aw, shucks.  I'm all broke up over this.

I wonder how you raise rent three years retroactively?  Ah well, NYC property contracts are a law unto themselves.

It looks like we know the next thing that Obama is going to "bail out".
