DDDB Legal Chair Carponter Gives MTA Free Legal Advice

Uploaded by BrooklynTruth on Jun 24, 2009
At a Metropolitan Transportation Authority board meeting on June 24, 2009, Candace Carponter, who heads the legal team of Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn, encourages MTA board members to resist pressure from NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg and NYS Governor David Paterson to rubber-stamp a land giveaway to Forest City Ratner, developer of the proposed Atlantic Yards project, even if it costs them their jobs. Carponter exhorts members to excercise their fiduciary duty and reject what many consider a bad deal for the MTA. Nonetheless, the board voted 10-2 to approve a new agreement with FCR, which would likely cost the public more money and delivery far fewer benefits than originally promised.
