City Council candidate Josh Skaller was caught cribbing a campaign mailing from Brad Lander, his main rival in the Democratic primary for the Park Slope-Windsor Terrace seat. Here’s an easy way to compare what Lander wrote to what Skaller wrote.
Josh Skaller, Monday morning
“The developer is already allowed to build a substantial development ‘as-of-right.’ Neighbors may not have loved that, but it was then within the rules and the development included a front garden area.”
“Now, however, the developer wants to change the rules and build even more units — where the garden was supposed to be. Did someone say ‘greed’? This variance requested by the developer would create a site that is wholly out of scale with the rest of the neighborhood and there is overwhelming public opposition to this. Nearly all of the neighbors on Carroll Street and Garfield Place have signed a petition. The Land Use Committee of Community Board 6 voted unanimously against it.”
