Atlantic Yards foes removed from CB6

Nine people who served on Brooklyn’s Community Board 6 were not reappointed to the board last night. Borough president Marty Markowitz reportedly decided not to reappoint the members because all voted against the Atlantic Yards project. The axed members are Jerry Armer, Angela Beni, Pauline Blake, Bill Blum, Al Cabbad, Barbara Longobardi, Madelaine Murphy, Marilyn Oliva and Theresa Ricks. “What we were doing was giving the community a voice and reflecting the community,” said Armer, who served on the board for more than 20 years. more [Gowanus Lounge] and
