Newark Arena Fuels Yards Security Concerns
Brooklyn Downtown Star
Shane Miller reports from last weekend's press conference on concerns about security measures for a new Nets arena and the shroud of secrecy:
"We want to know what security measures have been planned," said Jim Vogel of CBN. "And how will this security be funded? Who is footing the bill for the security of a private development? If it is the city's problem, then it is the city's right to review." Up until now, ESDC and FCR have revealed little about security measures for the arena, citing confidentiality. That includes refusing requests by James, who represents the area in the City Council, to review such a plan.
"They have even refused to disclose security plans that impact on your safety to an elected official chosen to represent you," she told the crowd Sunday.
