Public packs Ratner meet

From the Brooklyn Papers:

Among the elected officials who testified, Brooklyn Heights-Park Slope Assemblywoman Joan Millman made her first public statement against the project.

She cited the problems that 18,000 new residents could create for the borough’s sewer capacity, subway system, police and fire personnel, and postal service.

“Thus far I have yet to see a detailed and adequate plan that will address such concerns, and I am not convinced the Environmental Impact Statement will do so,” she said, while many of the project’s opponents clapped or whispered a surprised response at the Brownstone Brooklyn legislator’s position.
