Dont know if the city can withdraw abatement deals, but it can certainly do something about a citywide revaluation.

Can anybody enlighten as to why this is not an unbiased debate? Not trying to be snarky, just trying to understand.

If it's the negative imagery you love, instead of enshrining statements about Eastern European political conflicts, why don't we pick a more relevant tragedy; like the events surrounding the Native Americans we massacred, defrauded, and robbed to build that NYC skyline in the first place?

Purcell gets drunk at a Healy function - who gave her the liquor, was she getting paid by the city to attend - is there a rule about being drunk during paid working events, how many charges will she have and finally will the cops notify her insurance company that she was drunk when she hit the other cars?

It?s an interesting strategy by Louis Manzo to focus so much energy on slandering a candidate who isn't running for Mayor. Even when as late as this past Saturday Mr. Manzo was soliciting Steve to run on his ticket. I can't help but feel it?s very early days in the campaign for Mr. Manzo to be on the attack and offering nothing in the way of a positive dialogue. This is Mr. Manzo?s signature style of campaigning but be sure we will answer back with facts.

What I am saying is that when Business administrator O'Reilly is defending the Mayor's tax position, we should view his thoughts with caution and with a grain of salt.

Scary.

dont even know if this is possible, but cant they start showing actual imax movies in the dome (instead of just the documentaries they normalyl show) and start charging admission? that would probably bring in alot of extra cash

caj,

I suggest contacting state government. They issue the charter for Create, and are responsible for making sure that the school fulfills all requirements.

There are people out there who have been found guilty of public urination, are now forced to register as Sex Offenders, and are ineligible for employment in public schools.

I'd think that the State would frown on having Lipski in any position with a charter school, and they hold the purse strings.
Organize some letters or calls to them.

Good luck.

I really want to be at the next meeting, and perhaps calling the state would be a good idea.


Lipski also has his wife on the Create payroll. Nice work if you can get it.

Lipski may have done a lot of tireless work to found Create Charter, but he also gets paid $105,000+ to run it, he's not doing it purely out of the goodness of his heart, even if his biography on the City Council website indicates as such. If I knew how to tap into the state tax dollars like that, perhaps I would do the same. There are a lot of small businesses you can start that involve the same amount of effort and sleepless nights, but it is highly unlikely you will net $105,000 in your first year. And chances are you're either investing your own money or using a bank loan that you are personally liable for.

Is Lipski an adult or a teenager experimenting with alcohol ?
I think the alcoholic story is crap and I have money on it that he has drank on numerous occasions in the past couple of years.

I cant believe you just said tearing down those projects will cut half the murder rate. What world do you live in?

Tearing down those projects will leave people who can't afford housing practically homeless. Solving the crime on Montgomery doesn't start with tearing it down, it begins with someone giving a damn about the lack of security in that place.

You speak as if everyone in there is vermin and the place MUST or SHOULD go down. Montgomery needs someone to stand up for them, BRAVO STEVEN for doing so.

Maio is doing her own thing over the authority of her own Commissioners, and you guys state she's a great "public servant"?

Tell me does a Great Public Servant, serve their public by telling em "Move out, we're making condos"

Again put a JCHA Director who cares. Out with Maio and her greedy ambitions.
