For a Veteran State Senator, a Rare Primary Challenge
The NY Times
By Jonathan Hicks
State Senator Velmanette Montgomery is having to fend off a last-minute challenge from former City Councilmember Tracy Boyland.
Boyland's main point of attack on Montgomery is Atlantic Yards:
She also said that Ms. Montgomery had been outspoken on only one issue: her opposition to the Atlantic Yards project.
NoLandGrab: What the article doesn't mention is that Boyland's challenge is a retaliatory move by the Brooklyn Democratic Machine, which, though ailing, is not dead yet, and has pulled out all the stops to support pro-Ratner candidates.
