POLS SEEKING SAY ON ARENA
NY Post

Saying the Atlantic Yards project lacks accountability, many Brooklyn politicians and civic groups want Gov. Spitzer to give the community significantly more input on the $4 billion project.
Councilwoman Letitia James and Assemblyman Jim Brennan were among local elected officials yesterday calling on the Empire State Development Corp. to create a new subsidiary corporation to directly oversee the state-approved NBA arena/residential complex.
The contingent said the new subsidiary's board should include community officials and leaders and that the ESDC should also devise "a stakeholder council" that would get project input from residents and report back to the new subsidiary.
