A Yonkers councilwoman, her cousin and a local lawyer were indicted Wednesday on conspiracy charges. The US Attorney claimed Bruce Ratner's company agreed to give the councilwoman's cousin a $60,000 job in 2006 after she voted in favor of Ratner's Ridge Hill project. Neither Ratner, his company or its employees were charged and Ratner says his company isn't a target. It's unlikely to affect Barclays Center.
