Zuccotti Park owners received nearly $700,000 in gov't handouts since 9/11 terrorist attacks

The New York Daily News reports:

The owners of Zuccotti Park - Occupy Wall Street's home base - have pocketed nearly $700,000 in government handouts since the 9/11 terror attacks.

Brookfield Properties has received at least three six-figure grants meant for small businesses hurt by 9/11, even though it's an $8 billion company with 2,500 employees, records show.

Brookfield got the money because the state agency that doled out the cash treated one of the huge company's small affiliates as an entity unto itself - effectively turning it into a small business to make it eligible.

Imagine that.
