The Uppers East Siders in NYC Have a Sudden Deadly Methane Release
They trashed her!
The well to do, well educated crowd showed none of that in a forum in their neighborhood about a Waste transfer station needed to bring the garbage to it’s final destination.
The mayoral candidates were invited to discuss the issues sorounding that station. Actually there are no issues except the upper east siders wanted someplace else to take the station. They don’t mind their garbage and waste to go to be dispense in other boroughs, but they are too clean to have any transfer of garbage there. They take the regular sanitation dept garbage collection because they have no choice. You see they don’t like garbage in their neighborhood, not even their own.
Upper East Siders opposed to the construction of a waste transfer station in their neighborhood therefore they decided to booed City Council Speaker Christine Quinn at a mayoral forum yesterday for her continued support of a controversial project that would send garbage trucks rumbling throughout posh area streets.
You had a good picture here of what a few of the candidates are made of.
City Council Comptroller John Lieu involved in a lot of garbage of his own of how he has handled his finances with the law decided to turn and run. If he follows the steps of another comptroller he will be picking up garbage behind bars himself. He was a supporter of the station until the crowd started yelling. He took the opposite position faster than a rocket headed for mars. But there at the meeting when everyone started yelling at Christine Quinn when she mentioned the magic words of ‘waste’ the crowd turned on her faster than she could talk.
Among the stink — with jeers and heckles by the unruly upper East siders.
“Hang on — She firmly said. if you want an answer you have to listen,” she barked. “You can scream and yell. You could throw soft things after, but you have got to let me answer if I listen to your question with attention.”
“I am not changing my position on the [marine transfer station],” Quinn declared to the crowd inside the New York Foundation for Senior Citizens on E. 93rd Street.
She said that the five borough plan, which she supported in 2006 and of which the East Side station is a part, is meant to take the burden off of low income neighborhoods which traditionally get saddled with the stinky facilities. Part of the city scheme — the Gansevoort Street recycling center — sits in her own district, she noted.“I can’t stand up in this neighborhood and say your neighborhood takes something if mine does not take one.”
Still, the heckling continued.
“Don’t expect us to vote for you!”
“That’s fine,” Quinn snapped.
“It doesn’t make sense to proceed while turning a blind eye to that simple fact,”
Former City Comptroller Bill Thompson and Public Advocate Bill de Blasio, who voted in favor of the 2006 plan, said concerns over flooding left them both on the fence. He is so spineless with a paid position in the city that no one knows what it is. This would have been a chance for him to show some cojones, but it turns out he has no cojones ni guevos also.
There was nothing accomplished because what the East siders wanted was to release methane at some city official. Who better than The Council president and one that was not going to back down in something she believed which is the new concept of all five borrows sharing the good and the bad. For decades it was Staten Island and the East River shore between Brooklyn all the way up to the edge of the Bronx that got the ugly and stinky.
No more. The Staten Island landfill was closed and the smell is now gone. No such thing the upper East siders would have to endure. Christine Quinn was there to explain how the technology works and how there was no cause for worry unless we had another Sandy in which case every body would be up to their knees in shit like the last time, but it would be everybody not just Staten Island and Brooklyn.
We got a good picture of who is running for the few and who is running for the whole of the City of New York with it’s Five Counties.
All these, thanks to the upper east siders. About time they did something besides themselves.The gave us an early sketch of who is who in this early race for mayor.
