Trinidadian Contractor's Re-Appointment To NY Commisison Up In The Air
HardbeatNews.com
By Philomena Robertson
Will Trinidad-born, Brooklyn-based entrepreneur, Dolly Williams, be reappointed to the New York City Planning Commission amidst allegations of non-payment to several sub-contractors?
That question burns uppermost in the minds of many three months after the expiration of her appointment to the powerful zoning body and amidst allegations in a CRAIN news report that she owes millions to contractors her company hired.
NoLandGrab: Though the article notes the scandal that resulted in Dolly Williams's recusal from decisions regarding Atlantic Yards due to conflict of interest, unmentioned was Dolly's Gowanus rezoning conflict of interest and her illegal-parking conduct.
Also unmentioned was the "NoLandGrab" photo credit (crazy!). Note to for-profit media organizations: stealing from unpaid bloggers is not halal.
