Faso Hits BK Campaign Trail
Courier Life Publications
By Stephen Witt
Republican gubernatorial candidate John Faso made an appearance in Bay Ridge this week, talking tough on taxes, education spending and funding the MTA. Then he jettisoned his conservative credentials by supporting the use of eminent domain for Bruce Ratner's Nets arena and 16 highrise complex.
“I’m glad to see they scaled it back to some degree. I am concerned about some of the aggressive utilization of eminent domain in different parts of the country, but I do think the Atlantic Yards proposal as I saw it is a reasonable one,” said Faso.
“I just hope the developers can assure that all the interests, to the greatest extent possible, are satisfied with it. It would be a dynamic development in Downtown Brooklyn. No doubt about it,” he added.
NoLandGrab: Wanna bet that Faso knows as much about Atlantic Yards as Bruce Ratner knows about basketball?
