Gif Comes Out to Play in the Yards (Debate)
More on Giff's support of Atlantic Yards:
As the Brooklyn political machine, generally supportive of the Yards plan, and grateful to Miller over minor concessions made in the Williamsburg plan, has lined up behind the speaker in his race against the other Democratic mayoral candidates, Miller's pro-Yards stance was unsurprising. His choice did require some sacrifices, however: the governmental review process over the Yards will be carried out by the state, instead of the city, thus taking it largely out of Miller's control.
"It should, and I wish that it would," Miller responded, when asked whether the project would be subject to city review. "But the important thing is that the [city] money for the project will be going through the Council process."
