Pols to Yards foes: Yer Out!
The Brooklyn Paper
By Ariella Cohen
Last year, CB6 took a strong position against Atlantic Yards — and Markowitz made it clear to several board members that they would pay for their vote against the project.“He got it off his chest pretty loudly, and more than once,” said one Markowitz appointee who was reappointed, but only after several peace-making meetings.
Another appointee said Markowiz told her last year that he would get rid of all the board members who had voted against Ratner’s project.
“He pointed at my ‘Develop Don’t Destroy Brooklyn’ button and shouted at me that all the people who voted down the project would be gone,” said Celia Cacace, whose seat on CB6 is not up for reappointment until next year.
