Another NY'er here (albeit out in the country), another one glad to see it go down the tubes.
Mr. M, the catering was not to the Olympic Bid Committee. The gentleman who owns the NY Jets football team is a billionare, yet he was going to buy the land from the Metropolitan Transit Authority at a huge discount to its actual worth, then take hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to build his stadium, so he could make more billions. The MTA doesn't even have enough money to run the subways right now, yet they were supposed to line this guy's pockets?
There have been some excellent editorials written about this in the NY Times. I'm sorry I don't have an exact reference but you may want to search their archives.
