Rallying Hard Around Ratner
New York Post
By Rich Calder
A slew of boldface names in politics and sports has been enlisted for a rally today to garner support for the embattled Atlantic Yards project.
The Rev. Al Sharpton, Curtis Sliwa, former New Jersey Nets Darryl Dawkins and Albert King and hundreds of union members who support developer Bruce Ratner's $4 billion project are expected to attend at Borough Hall.
Daniel Goldstein, a spokesman for opponents, called the rally a sign of Ratner's "desperation" over the project.
