Bronx "leaders" have proposed naming a bridge after Derek Jeter

How ignorant are New Yorkers? Bronx “leaders” are considering naming a bridge after a man who cheated New York out of millions in taxes.

Have they forgotten already? Derek Jeter cheated New York out of millions in taxes by claiming he was living in Florida (he owns property in Tampa) when he was actually working and living in Manhattan.

Back in 2007, the NY Daily News reported that Derek Jeter claimed he was a Florida resident in order to avoid paying $70,000 a year in real estate taxes on a condo he owned in the Trump World Tower.

Did I mention that the Jeter Bridge will cost $87 million to build. Where are they getting the money? From the tax payers.

Well, the bright side is that if the Yankees lose to the Phillies, Yankees fans will have a preferred bridge to jump off of.
