Where Does Quinn Stand?
Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn (DDDb) wants to know where Christine Quinn stands on the Atlantic Yards proposal.
Quinn built her reputation as a leader in the City Council when she went to the mat against the Jets stadium proposal stating,"It seems somewhat unfair that the Jets are going to dump all of their corporate resources into this when they are up against unfunded community groups who are just trying to protect their neighborhood and fight for responsible development."
A year later, Quinn gave her support to the Yankee Stadium deal, in which neighborhood concerns were sacrificed for the richest team in baseball.
Where do these two very different reputations — Quinn the Crusader and Quinn the Dealmaker — leave Brooklynites fighting for responsible development of the railyards? DDDb suggests you ask her.
