Freddy: Bloomy a Brooklyn nightmare
From the Brooklyn Papers:
Democratic mayoral candidate Fernando Ferrer broke rank with his rivals this week by addressing for the first time in the campaign plans by developer Bruce Ratner to build a basketball arena and high-rises emanating from Atlantic and Flatbush avenues.Specifically, Ferrer attacked the process by which the Atlantic Yards plan is being ushered through the public realm.
“There is next to nothing being discussed in the public domain with respect to the Nets arena,” Ferrer said outside Brooklyn Borough Hall on Monday.
“The public has a right to know who will be displaced, how much will it cost, what is the math of this project?” he said. “To call that process not transparent is probably the understatement of the year.”
NoLandGrab has a change for the Pol Precinct! We've given Ferrer a green light for his positive comments about the fight for our community.
