30 Issues Day 8: Atlantic Yards
WNYC Radio [The Brian Lehrer Show]
Brian Lehrer and WNYC reporter Matthew Schuerman discuss if and how the Atlantic Yards project might factor into the mayoral election, and "Daniel (Goldstein) in Prospect Heights" is the first caller.
NoLandGrab: Democratic Mayoral candidate Bill Thompson has not distinguished himself by failing to distinguish himself from Mayor Bloomberg in supporting Atlantic Yards, leaving Green Party candidate Reverend Billy Talen the clear choice for project opponents.
In the subsequent segment, Mark Winston Griffith, an Atlantic Yards opponent who ran second in the Democratic primary for the 36th Council District seat to Atlantic Yards-supporting incumbent Al Vann, talks about his effort to unseat Vann in the general election, running on the Working Families line.
NLG: We endorsed Mark Winston Griffith in the primary, and that holds for November's ballot, too.
