In the wake of City Councilmembers de Blasio and Yassky and Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz’s purge of nine CB 6 members who voiced their opposition to the Atlantic Yards project, the Green Party of Brooklyn denounced the politically motivated purge and has called for more democracy in community board appointments.
"These folks have been serving their community by opposing the disastrous Atlantic Yards project," said Green Party of Brooklyn Chair Colby Hamilton. "Now we see how community-supported opposition is handled - it’s a political massacre."
