11th Heating Up
The Politicker (via NY Observer)
The Politicker, Ben Smith reports that Atlantic Yards supporter, State Senator Carl Andrews, is jockeying to run for the 11th District US Congressional seat, long held by Atlantic Yards detractor, Major Owens. Andrews has apparently received the blessing of his former boss, Attorney General Eliot Spitzer.
In the same blog item, the one local politician who has been criticized for carefully trying to support and oppose the project at the same time, City Councilmember David Yassky, has officially announced his intention to run for the same seat.
