Hakeem Jeffries, open letter on Atlantic Yards
Hakeem Jeffries took out a half-page ad in the Brooklyn Downtown Star in an attempt to clarify his stand on the biggest controversy in his district, Bruce Ratner's Atlantic Yards proposal.
I take this issue very seriously, as I reside along with my wife and two children, just a few blocks from the proposed footprint. This development, planned for the very heart of this district, presents a combination of both opportunity and deep concern.
The candidate for the 57th State Assembly District, an open seat currently held by Atlantic Yards supporter Roger Green, has charted a very careful position, one that even Norman Oder of Atlantic Yards Report is having a little difficulty parsing, since each statement seems to lead to more questions than answers.
