Brooklyn borough president, Marty Markowitz, is being accused of pushing out several long-serving community board members because of their opposition to the borough's Atlantic Yards development - a project Markowitz, says the New York Times, "has spent three years and much of his political capital extolling."
Last summer, you may recall, Adolfo Carrión, Markowitz's Bronx counterpart, was accused of the very same thing, namely removing Bronx Community Board 4 members who opposed the new Yankee Stadium. The Village Voice also picked up the story.
