Silver's Change of Heart on Bloomberg's Gansevoort Transfer Station
Many people have thought for a long time that Michael Bloomberg’s solid waste plan--which included opening a garbage transfer station near Gansevoort Street in the Meatpacking District--would never pass in Albany, given that three Assembly members from Manhattan opposed it.
But at the end of session last week, the bill suddenly passed, with Sheldon Silver's support, although those Manhattan Assembly members still opposed it.
Matthew Washington, deputy director for Friends of Hudson River Park, which opposed the plan, couldn't quite explain what had changed. “Very early on, it seemed like he [Silver] was supportive of his members--Dick Gottfried, Deborah Glick, Linda Rosenthal--who’ve always been against using the Gansevoort site as a marine transfer station," Washington told me. "And at the last minute, you know, it seemed like there was a change and I don’t know what caused that change.”
One of Sheldon Silver’s Democratic opponents, Paul Newell, thinks Silver is trying to position himself as an environmental advocate ahead of the primary in September. “There’s no way for anyone to ever tell why anything progresses through our legislature because our laws are written in secret,” Newell said. “That said, I think it’s very likely that Sheldon Silver, facing his first serious challenge of his political career, from a committed environmentalist decided to play ball on an important issue.”
Silver’s legislative spokesman, Dan Weiller, dismissed Newell’s characterization and said he’s standing by what Silver said when the deal was reached:
"I am pleased that we have worked together to enact legislation that will enhance Hudson River Park - with details to be spelled out in a joint memorandum of understanding - and help to lessen truck traffic, and permit the City's Solid Waste Management Plan to proceed."
Any ideas why Silver changed his mind?
Mr. Newell is spot on with this issue.
Silver has been so out of touch for the last 22 years of his unopposed rule. He has all the money in the world to pay people to say whatever he wants, to stand on the streets with clipboards for him, even to use propagandistic fliers paid for him by us taxpayers. He's not running scared; he thinks you won't show up and vote against the closest thing our state has to a monarch. If you live in the Lower East Side, Chinatown, Nolita, the Financial District, or Battery Park City, and you're sick of having someone represent you who could care less what you think, take a look at newellnyc.org. I'm not some paid spokesperson, just someone who cares deeply about the direction of our state. Believe me: This candidate will take your calls, listen to your needs, and cares about our local neighborhoods. The power of New York is up to us!

Silver changed his mind so he could give the Mayor something he wanted badly. In return, Silver got clobbered by the Mayor's plans to support Republicans in major State Senate races which will hurt his Democratic Assembly candidates (money for GOP side has coat tails) and this government paid Deputy Mayor for Politics is playing footsie with Silver's opponents and people in Silver's district cannot stand looking at Bloomberg's scaffolding in the East river with water pouring out of them - they're ugly.
Next time, Silver needs to stay on his wise course of opposing the "my way" Mayor who knows not how to compromise. Look at his takeover of the City Council; he owns them lock stock and Ms. Quinn's red hair.
Tlaloc Brooklyn, thy name is Paul Newell. Don't try to hide we all know it's you.
So this guy Newell is taking credit for Gansevoort now? Wow, he's not even Assemblyman yet and he's passed legislation with his far reaching powers. Yes Paul they all did it because of you.
Newell is an amateur who
- considers campaigning spending his days on blogs
- has disorganized press conferences
- is unknown to us neighborhood activists who fight for our community
- is so inept he couldn't even talk the other opposition candidate, L. Henry, to drop out
- misses Dem club endorsement meetings
- has never been to any of the Club or CB meetings to get his 'message' out
Shelly, for all his warts, delivers.
