ARENA FOES SLAM DUNKED
NY Post

The Post ran a short item with one off-the-record source and a quote from Atlantic Yards opponent Daniel Goldstein:
They're calling it Marty's revenge.
Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz yesterday kicked nine members off Community Board 6 - all of whom voted last September to condemn the Atlantic Yards plan. Many of the people losing their seats were longtime board members, and one source called it "sad" that about 150 combined years of community service was lost strictly over politics.
"If community boards are going to mean anything, they can't be puppets of the borough president," said Daniel Goldstein, spokesman for the Atlantic Yards opposition group Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn.
