Trinidad Contractor Officially Booted Off NY City Planning Commission
HardBeatNews.com covers Borough President Marty Markowitz's announcement that Dolly Williams would not be reappointed as Brooklyn's representative to the City Planning Commission. The article recounts the litany of controversies that may have led to the decision (despite what Marty's statement says) and includes some analysis of campaign finance records.
Markowitz, in a statement, insisted that the decision was mutual. “Dolly and I come to the joint decision that in this time of great growth and change in Brooklyn, when there are many voices seeking to be heard on land use matters, it would be best for a new appointee to assume the Planning Commission position,” stated Markowitz, who has pocketed a reported $12,000 in campaign donations from Williams and her company according to Campaign Finance records surveyed by HBN. No replacement has been named.
