NIMBY? We're Just Saying...
Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn outs City Councilmember Dominic Recchia and NY State Senator Carl Kruger for their hypocritical stance on megadevelopment and eminent domain.
November, 2007: State Senator Carl Kruger and Councilman Domenic Recchia express adamant opposition to City's redevelopment plan for Coney Island—their backyard. Recchia represents Coney Island and Kruger nearby neighborhoods including Brighton Beach. Kruger went so far as to call the plan a "backdoor approach to eminent domain."
Yesterday... both Kruger and Recchia journeyed from their backyards to speak at Bruce Ratner's Rally in Support of Bruce Ratner (aka Rally for the "Done Deal" Come Undone), aiding in the developer's choreographed attempt to extract more subsidy from Albany and/or City Hall.
