Diamondstone: Over 5,000 Brooklynites Call for Real Reform
Hot Indie News
City Council candidate Ken Diamondstone announces petitioning results in a release that touts his long-standing and well-documented opposition to Atlantic Yards.
“I am the only candidate in this race with a record of real reforms,” Diamondstone said. “I’m not afraid to stand up to the powers that be. Borough President Markowitz tried to force me off the Community Board when I dared to question Atlantic Yards, and I fought back and won. If elected I will continue to fight for the people, not the powerful.”
Diamondstone has a well-earned reputation as a reformer willing to take risks and standing on principle. He has always opposed developments that put community interests second, including the Dock Street project that blocks views of the Brooklyn Bridge and his opposition to luxury housing in Brooklyn Bridge Park.
