Read this article and "buy" the way after reading it you might not want to vote for Melinda Katz and any and all city council members that voted to extend term limits.
Christine Quinn is included in this practice of taking money from developers. Read this piece by Benjamin Lesser and the last two paragraphs expose Quinn's damming behavior.
When city council members give pork to developers and developers turn around and make campaign donations is that like city council members getting a commission on the pork aka tax payers money they give to developers....is that like kick backs or favors, scratch my back, I will scratch yours....
The mayor pushed a tsunami of community crushing development and these city council members that don't consider themselves corrupt took campaign contributions from developers. No wonder they want to deny us a referendum and stay on a third term and forever if possible.
In the damming piece by Benjamin Lesser he exposes how corrupt city council members can even appear to be helping with affordable housing but oops they gave pork to developers with bad track records. Gee, I wonder why.
From Albany to City Hall the people of New York and especially the inhabitants of NYC who are not part of the elite rich got screwed in the worst ways by politicians that are suppose to be serving the public but they forgot that along the way when it became about their egos, greed and stupidity.
City Council members including Quinn flushed democracy down the toilet so they could continue these practices. How many city council members are in bed with developers...? Too many and asking city council for help fighting developers crushing our community is like asking the developers' mayor or socialite city planner mega millionaire Amanda Burden for help....
don't expect any.
