Letitia James Interview
WNYC, Brian Lehrer: Brian Lehrer and Councilperson Letitia James discuss culture, education, ethnic diversity, affordable housing, the arena controversy, food and more.
James on Ratner:
This developer is a stealth developer who has done nothing but engage in secret meetings, behind closed doors and wants this project approved by “three men in a room.”
James on the arena:
The dichotomy between this development and jobs is a false dichotomy. The reality is that we want development at that site. The question is, "what type of development?"
I don’t think anyone would disagree that I should be involved with this project in some way, shape or form -- not to be invited to the table to have secret negotiations. It should be out, in the public, and be subject to some oversight.
