Chris Owens Statement On 11th Congressional District Primary Results
Chris Owens congratulates and endorses Yvette Clarke, the winner of yesterday's Democratic primary election for the 11th congressional district seat, in a statement released today, and calls on the democratic nominee to do the right thing on Atlanic Yards:
It is also necessary to state that I hope Councilmember Clarke will use her new political leverage to hold developer Bruce Ratner accountable for significant modifications in the Atlantic Yards project, and also hold the Empire State Development Corporation and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority more accountable for their decisions regarding this project. We need an advocate for the people -- not simply corporate interests. Needless to say, all of us will be monitoring this situation very closely.
