Freddie Reconsidering?
In light of this morning's Daily News article about contributions David Yassky has received from developers, Brooklyn District Leader Freddie Hamilton may now be reconsidering her endorsement of the Council Member for Congress.
Yassky spokesperson, Evan Thies, declined to comment saying, "I'm not going to comment on it until I get a call from Freddie. That's pure speculation."

David Yassky The real estate industry is pouring thousands into Councilman David Yassky's congressional campaign - including two controversial developers, the Daily News has learned.
the article goes on...
Spokesman Evan Thies denied that developer's contributions influenced Yassky.
"There is absolutely no link between donations and David's governing," said Thies. "There are plenty of developers in Greenpoint, Williamsburg, DUMBO and Brooklyn Heights who have given him money and are upset over his stance against their developments."
As a constituent of Yassky's, I wonder what "stance against their developments" Thies is talking about. Yassky seems to be the best friend a developer could have. His record speaks for itself.
