Ratner Money Fueling Challenge to James' Council Seat?

Brownstoner

Here's another one that was missed this week on NoLandGrab (is there a theme developing here this Sunday morning?) This time, Brownstoner touches on the race for the 35th Council District. The City Council seat is currently held by the stalwart Atlantic Yards critic, Letitia James.

Despite protestations to the contrary, it's looking like Bruce Ratner is going to be a major player in the challenge to Council Member Letitia James' seat in the 35th District. Atlantic Yards Report, which broke the news of the campaign by Delia Hunley-Adossa earlier this month, has a post out this morning about Hunley-Adossa's campaign treasurer Charlene Nimmons. According to AYR, Nimmons, like Hunley-Adossa, runs a small non-profit whose major purpose appears to be to funnel salaries from Bruce Ratner to the women who run them in return for their support of the Atlantic Yards project.
