Batson for Brooklyn
Today (Tuesday, July 11) at midnight is the filing deadline for candidates. Included in the filing is the amount of money raised for a campaign. Mainstream media spends a lot of time comparing candidates by the amount of money they have raised. Raising large amounts of money should make someone look like a putz since it generally means they are beholden to whomever gave them the dough (like developers?) But raising a lot of cash through small donations (aka from the community) holds its own prestige.
Bill Batson is the best chance in the Brooklyn political fray to get the Atlantic Yards proposal stopped. Read why you should show Bill some love here.
