Retaliation on Levy South Brooklyn Moves
Lawyers for civic groups in South Brooklyn obtained from Justice Dugro an injunction request to compel the Mayor Controller and Corp Counsel to appear in Supreme Court to show why further contracts and stock for public improvements should not be restrained. The move targets subway funding and tied projects, arguing to safeguard city borrowing capacity while disputing the Levy case. Meyer Bay Ridge property owner supports the suit, while Borough President Coler’s counsel backs the action, cautioning that enjoining one project could affect all debts and subway plans.
