Velmanette Montgomery vs. Tracy Boyland
The Brooklyn Papers gave free "air time" to candidates to state their case, only Tracy Boyland was too busy stuffing our mailboxes with four-color campaign litter to take the call.
Velmanette Montgomery gets the mic to herself:
What [sic] should voters choose you?
I am a full-time legislator who spends 100 percent of my time, attention and work on constituent services and representation in Albany. My years of experience as a teacher, community organizer, child-care advocate, parent and elected official gives [sic] me a breadth and depth of understanding and knowledge about important issues.Why is your opponent unqualified?
She has no proven record of representation consistent with the standards expected by voters. And she has not disclosed the source of her campaign contributions as required by law. Voters have no way of knowing who is financing the Tracy Boyland candidacy.SPECIFIC ISSUE ROUND
Atlantic Yards?
I oppose the Ratner plan. I support the Extell plan, which is based on a set of development principals that respect the existing neighborhoods and does not require eminent domain. It does not close off streets or create a walled-in community or 20- to 60-story towers that will destroy our neighborhoods.
