Jeffries: NO EMINENT DOMAIN ABUSE?
57th Assembly District candidate Hakeem Jeffries's latest mailer has caught the attention of "Atlantic Yards" Voters Guide and Atlantic Yards Report. Both blogs try to parse the mexed missages.
"Atlantic Yards" Voter Guide, Jeffries-Come-Lately's Liar Flier
AY Voters Guide calls the mailer a "liar flier" and explains why. One of the strangest citations on the flier is Jeffries quote from his own ad in the Brooklyn Downtown Star.
Atlantic Yards Report, Where does Hakeem Jeffries stand on AY? The obfuscation mounts
So what does Hakeem Jeffries, the fundraising frontrunner for the open 57th Assembly District seat, really think about Atlantic Yards? His web site is silent. An ad he placed in the Downtown Brooklyn Star in May (right) was muddled, critical in many ways, but unclear on whether he was ultimately pro or con. And since then he has only made his bottom line more confusing.
Norman Oder hits the nail on the head when he points out that Jeffries repeatedly claims to be against "eminent domain ABUSE." But what about its USE?
