Wowie… no surprise here, since Letitia James is one of the Atlantic Yards project’s fiercest opponents, and James Caldwell is the project’s cheerleader-in-chief. But still… come on!!
Random_person told Daily Heights: “We were walking down the Flatbush Street Festival on Sunday and ran into Tish James… she said James Caldwell ‘banned’ her from the Community Council meetings at the 77th Precinct, and said he would throw her out if she tried to show up.”
[Oh yeah… in addition to being the CEO of BUILD, Caldwell also happens to be the President of the 77th Precinct’s “Community Council,” which is supposed to be some sort of interface between NYPD and “The Community.”]
Random_person continued: “She said she is going anyway, and they are public meetings, and they can’t kick her out. And they refunded the money she gave to the kids organization that they run. I think they have a youth police athletic-type thing.”
“You may want to ask her about it… She didn’t seem afraid to bring it up.”
Will do. Thanks for the info! This month’s 77th Precinct Community Council Meeting is next Monday, Oct. 10 at 7:30 PM. 127 Utica Avenue.
