State Senator Martin Connor's district not only covers Brooklyn Heights but Chinatown as well. Ruling over his turf with an iron fist in a quest to keep that ethnic enclave from being overrun with new bars, Marty and others have pulled the rug out from rocker David Bowie and Sting's new Kenmare Street nightspot Forty Deuce by leading the charge to deny them a liquor license. On Thursday night, CB2 agreed and voted to rescind its prior approval to grant a license. The venue was planned to be a branch of the "retro burlesque" club chain owned by the stars and partner Ivan Kane.
