Daniel Goldstein speaks out against Atlantic Yards, breaks terms of settlement?
Nets Are Scorching
From the department of "What are pro basketball blogs supposed to write about when there's no pro basketball..."
Famed protester Daniel Goldstein, known best for heading Develop Don’t Destroy Brooklyn until reaching a settlement with Bruce Ratner worth roughly $3 million, was on hand to protest, stating that “There is no greater monument to crony capitalism in all of Brooklyn than the Atlantic Yards Project.”
According to the terms of Goldstein’s $3 million settlement, he “cannot actively oppose the project.” Oops. While I’m not sure if this qualifies as “actively opposing” under the specific language in the settlement, it’s safe to say this isn’t exactly “actively promoting.”
NoLandGrab: But it is exactly correct.
