Dick Zigun (left) has just resigned his position as Director of The Coney Island Development Corporation in an open letter to Mayor Bloomberg.

"I write  this open letter of resignation from the position you appointed me to as a Director of The Coney Island Development Corporation effective Tuesday, June 24th, 2008 6 PM, the exact date and time of the first public hearing on the revised rezoning of Coney Island. I urge you to withdraw this deeply flawed plan and cancel this hearing, but as it stands I cannot leave my name on it.  I am particularly disturbed that the Directors of the CIDC have had no opportunity to discuss or vote on these substantial changes to our Strategic Plan - which was the result of years of work and which had achieved widespread neighborhood consensus."
