Atlantic Yards Voter Guide, Marty Wants a Third Term, Voters Be Damned
Brooklyn Borough Beep and Atlantic Yards Cheerleader-in-Chief Marty Markowitz is in favor of ending term limits.
On the Times City Room blog Markowitz says:
“If the laws were changed and they allowed another term, I’d certainly be honored to serve another term,” Mr. Markowitz added. “But the choice would be up to the voters.”
Marty should be informed that the choice has been made by the voters—they ratified term limits twice.
...
Anyways, we endorse Markowitz wholeheartedly...for retirement.
Campaign for Community-Based Planning, Public Hearings on Columbia’s Use of Eminent Domain, Next Week
Now that the state has officially declared Manhattanville “blighted,” on September 2 and 4, the Empire State Development Corporation will hold public hearings, the next stage of the process that will ultimately determine whether the state will support the use of eminent domain in Columbia University’s planned expansion. While many believe this is a done deal, there is still the opportunity to make your voice heard on this issue. Talking points on eminent domain from Task Force Supporters the Coalition to Preserve Community, a group that has long been fighting Columbia’s plan, are after the jump.
The hearings will be held from 1-4pm and 5:30-9:30pm both days, at Aaron Davis Hall of the City University of New York, located at West 135″‘ Street at Convent Avenue. Speaker sign-up begins 15 minutes before each session.
