Day 33 – Happy Easter!
I decided to post this early today as I wanted to wish all my friends of 1199 a Happy Easter. If something comes up during the day I will be posting again.
From my family to yours, Happy Easter…
Till tomorrow, STAND STRONG!
COUNTDOWN TO A NEW MAYOR
Mayor Bloomberg has championed the cause of development above all else-- above community integrity, above living wage jobs, above affordability for low and middle income New Yorkers, and above quality of life issues including the sanctity of parkland and historic preservation. Bloomberg has stacked the deck in favor of developers, put their profits above all else, and made it very difficult for communities to protect their viability by asking the important questions: Does this fit the community? Does it bring something the community needs, or only something developers think they can profit from? Is it actually affordable? In the Bloomberg administration, all of that is secondary to encouraging large-scale development, come what may. He has created a war zone in the outer boroughs, where the vast majority of New Yorkers live and try to put down roots. In that context, we can't help but begin a COUNTDOWN TO A NEW MAYOR

FOR HELEN SIEGER I HAVE A QUOTE FROM AESOP ‘ ANY EXCUSE WILL SERVE A TYRANT’ AND TO ALL MY FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS ON THE PICKET LINE, I LEAVE YOU WITH A QUOTE FROM THE GREAT MARTIN LUTHER KING.JR. ‘THE ULTIMATE MEASURE OF A MAN IS NOT WHERE HE STANDS IN MOMENTS OF COMFORT AND CONVENIENCE, BUT WHERE HE STANDS AT TIMES OF CHALLENGE AND CONTROVERSY’. GOD BLESS YOU ALL……
