So Butts and Bernard are selling out to this suczzy landlord Bistricer!! Some able reporter should examine what those 2 "Reverends" who make more than half million buck a year are getting out of this deal. Also, we know from the article that Rudy's former chief enforcer, Bruce Teitelbaum is some kind of partner in this deal and his wife super lobbyist suri kasirer is getting a huge payoff as is Bush's former staff chief's brother. What will they have to contribute to Schumer to get him on board? I hear that they have paid the price and go Ed Towns to endorse their plans. Much as I cant stand Charles Barron for his vile hatred mongering, he is right on in this matter.
Now that Speaker Quinn has proposed to add $42 million dollars to the Public Libraries I wonder if the Chair of the Committee on Libraries, Councilman Domenic M. Recchia, Jr. is ready to come out & endorse her for Mayor in 2009. After all he is her political lap dog. And he's got his funding he wanted. Waiting to see what happens. Anybody have any other thoughts?
bloomberg, circumcision, trans fat, no smoking in bars, the guy is an out of touch, out of control billionaire. He should focus on keeping rats, mice and roaches out of eating establishments. That is what we pay high taxes for , isn't it?
I guess the scientology guys want be able to set up tables once the Freedom Tower is completed, if it's going to help sick people, I'm for it.
