Sent to Suzannah Troy: From the great lobbying firm, Capalino, comes a great source of information in really accessible form. (You will love the facebook page )but lots of other stuff for those who wish to read it. This is from the 2010 election......Wish I had seen this earlier, but that's how the cookie crumbles...and how the butter churned...
Thanks for sending me this B!
Rewind check out the dirt!
Rudin has at least 2 Public Relations firms -- *Howard Rubenstein called "god" and Capalino and this lobbyist Terry Travis who is hated in the West Village considered a total dirt bag by the West Village for his role in the Rudin Luxury Hospital Condos along with boss Capalino.

"Jim’s government career began in 1972 when he joined the staff of Congressman Edward I. Koch. In 1977, he co-managed the mayoral campaign of Congressman Koch when he was elected the 105th Mayor of the City of New York. He was named Commissioner of General Services, a 2,000+ employee, $750 million agency, at the age of 28 (still, the youngest commissioner in City history). Jim managed the Mayor’s successful third term re-election, which he won by the largest margin in the City’s history."
*Rubenstein old as the hills and he is one of the rulers of NYC. I was told on the street that to apply for a NYC Gov top job under Bloomberg -- you have to be interviewed by Howard Rubenstein.
He has sons helping him run his media giant firm and Rubenstein made sure that Bloomberg's 3rd term went through. Murdoch and Rubenstein beyond close -- look to Partnership of NY which I dubbed "The Oligarchs of New York".
Rudin and flunkies blame the community, St. Vincent's crooks but we say you could have lead the call for a full service trauma level 1 hospital and refused the zoning kickback oops did I say kick back -- you could have demanded protective zoning for St. Vincent's Hospital -- hospital only.
