Allan J. Fromberg, a spokesman for the Taxi and Limousine Commission, questioned the validity of the report.
Piazza also suggested that some clubs used creative accounting practices and questioned the validity of the report of the commissioner's blue-ribbon panel.
Cesar Morales, a spokesman for Chestnut, disputed the validity of the report.
"We're quite confident in the validity of the report," said Robert B. Voas, a senior researcher on the project, who would discuss only the methodology of the study.
In comments reported by The Daily News last Wednesday, Piazza said that the clubs were split on the issue of greater revenue sharing, he criticized owners for pocketing that money instead of using it to improve their teams, he suggested that the clubs use creative accounting practices and he questioned the validity of the report of the commissioner's blue-ribbon panel.
Among other points he made, the outspoken Piazza said the clubs were split on the issue of greater revenue sharing, criticized owners for putting revenue-sharing money in their pockets instead of using it to improve their teams, suggested that the clubs use creative accounting practices and questioned the validity of the report of the commissioner's blue-ribbon panel.
The city officials also questioned the validity of the report because, they said, the commission had not approached the city with any follow-up questions since holding a public hearing in New York in May, in which dozens of black and Hispanic New Yorkers spoke of routine harassment by the police.
Besides, more research is needed to assess the validity of the reported perceptions in this study.
The present review addresses this gap by evaluating analytically the validity of the reported results.
It should be noted that the validity of the reported Equations 17 to 20 remains a subject of debate.
