Demonstrations Over Atlantic Rail Yards Project
WCBS 880
WCBS Reporter Peter Haskell was on the scene where a garbage truck in front of Standard and Poor's offices is strictly symbolic.
It was brough by protesters of the Nets arena and the Atlantic Yards Project in Brooklyn.
"We sold Ratner's junkyard bonds for their arena bond issue, and we dumped them into a garbage truck," said Daniel Goldstein, an organizer.
Goldstein is referring to junkyard bonds, noting the S&P rating is just above junk bond status.
"We don't like this project. It's going to destroy our neighborhood and we've been fighting it for six years and we will continue fighting it with our last breath," said Lucy
CotaineKoteen of Fort Greene in Brooklyn.
