REC-U-U-USE ME!

The Brooklyn Papers hears our borough's silent screams. Dolly is recused, which means she's still in the room for negotiations, but leaves Brooklyn with no representation for the largest development the county of Kings has ever witnessed. I sure wish I had enough money to participate in democracy.

Brooklyn’s sole appointee to the City Planning Commission, one of only two city agencies with an official role in the proposed Atlantic Yards arena, housing and office complex will have no voice, the city said this week.

Dolly Williams, Borough President Marty Markowitz’s sole appointee to the planning commission, will have to recuse herself from any review or other official discussion of the borough’s largest development proposal because, as first reported by The Brooklyn Papers last August, she owns a stake in the New Jersey Nets, a planning commission spokeswoman said this week.
