PACB, ignoring tidal wave of criticism, votes to approve “Atlantic Yards” Surprise Ending? Nope,
more Politics-as-Usual in Albany Your financial support is more
important than ever. Despite a swirl of conflicting news reports over
the past couple of days (“Atlantic Yards Vote Delayed,” “Atlantic Yards
May Get Nod This Week,” “Brooklyn Arena OK,” and so on), the deal that
was fixed from the day it was announced received approval today from
the Public Authorities Control Board, the unaccountable state panel
controlled by the Governor, the Senate Majority Leader and the Assembly
Speaker.

Widespread opposition ignored The Speaker, Sheldon
Silver, widely considered the wild card in the vote, chose to ignore
the urging of Assemblyman-elect Hakeem Jeffries, in whose district the
project is planned, and Assemblymembers Jim Brennan, Joan Millman and
Annette Robinson, whose districts surround the project site, to
postpone the vote. Representative democracy, this is not. The
Assemblymembers were far from alone in calling the project unready for
approval. City Councilmember Letitia James and State Senator Velmanette
Montgomery – who represent the project area in their respective
elective bodies – have opposed the “Atlantic Yards” from its inception.
State Senator-elect Eric Adams has expressed numerous concerns, and
called for a security review. In addition, a steady parade of local
civic and neighborhood organizations, and regional and national
good-government and advocacy groups, had joined DDDB in calling for
postponement of the PACB vote.
