a subcontracted Citi Field employee told me Steve Cohen& #39;s promised relief assistance -- $500 a month until Opening Day -- for out of work Mets ballpark staff came through today. stadium workers were frustrated by the Wilpons& #39; lack of support while they couldn& #39;t work their shifts.

Happy Thanksgiving

as a comparison, one worker told me they received $189 (after taxes) from the Wilpons to hold them down through the season.

far be it from me to praise a rich dude for doing what their taxes should, but I& #39;m glad Cohen did it and I& #39;m happy for his workers. $500 a month goes a long way. that& #39;s a month& #39;s groceries for a household. winter coats. Christmas gifts for the kids.
