Freddie quibbles over Ratner
From the Brooklyn Papers:
“When I am mayor, I’ll halt this project,” said Ferrer, nearly shouting to be heard over the jeers of union construction workers who support Ratner’s plans for skyscrapers and a basketball arena.A small group came out to hear the mayoral candidate speak for 10-minutes. Ferrer complained about mayoral policies that he said favor developers and landowners over ordinary New Yorkers.
“The only thing we know for sure is that this deal helps Mike Bloomberg and his wealthy developer friends,” said Ferrer, speaking with his back to the Forest City Ratner-constructed Atlantic Terminal Mall.
