Political Turnout for Barclays Center Ribbon Cutting Pretty Pathetic
Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn
So, Brooklyn is 1000 percent behind Atlantic Yards, right Markowitz? And it has widespread political support? Right?
Wrong. Besides Bloomberg and Marty Markowitz, and Lieutentant Governor Duffy (not even Gov. Status Cuomo would show his own face, on this the day that Brooklyn "arrived," as Mayor Bloomberg declared at the ribbon cutting), the only Brooklyn elected officials that came to the hoopla ceremony at the Barclays LIBOR Fixer Center were:
Assemblymembers Lentol, Camara and Brook-Krasny, Senator Golden, and Councilmembers Vann, Gentile, Recchia, Mealy.
Eight Brooklyn elected officials. In a borough of 2.6 million.
Pretty telling wouldn't you say?
NoLandGrab: Here's the latest Vegas line on the chances of these Assembly and Council members ending up indicted. Lentol, 7-1. Camara, 4-1. Brook-Krasny, 8-1. Golden, 5-2. Vann, 4-1. Gentile, 6-1. Recchia, 2-1. Mealy, 8-1.
