James avoids divisive showdown with Caldwell
Daily Heights Forum
City Councilmember Letitia James avoided a showdown with 77th Precinct President and BUILD CEO James Caldwell, after Caldwell had thrown down the gaunlet earlier in the week by banning James from last night's public meeting of the precinct group and threatened to throw her out if she made an appearance. This most recent threat added credence to the impression that Caldwell's primary tool exercizing power is divisiveness.
James Caldwell, still smarting from last week's outing of BUILD as an astroturf organization, largely blames Councilmember James for his group's PR woes.
When James was a no show at last night's meeting, it left plenty of time for Caldwell to speak. According to "Captain M's" comments on the DH Forum, Caldwell had a lot to say, he just couldn't remember all the details.
