Jane Jacobs would have turned her back on Christine Quinn at street naming, The NY Daily News exposed Quinn's dealing w/developer money back & forth
*The Epoch News did actually cover me and other protesters!

Bravo! http://www.nypost.com/seven/12112008/news/regionalnews/council_in_lush_mess_143667.htm?CMP=EMC-email_edition&DATE=12112008
Go to youtube -- see me in my $6 recession bikini top and hear my outrage.
Make sure to hit the text portion to read Benjamin Lesser's article that exposes a mega slush fund, corruption and conflicts of interest galore with city counciil and read the last few paragraphs about Christine Quinn's shady dealing with a developer --
you must read the blatantly corruption as reported in The New York Daily News.
I am also thrilled I got out there on the eve of the first city council member to resign and to plead guilty.
There are so many city council members that are guilty and City Hall is rife with corruption and conflicts of interest galore!
The pension scandals are a prime example and to date no arrests but just mega millions dollars worth of fines which means nothing to them.
How has all this gone on at city hall and for way too long?
We need very public arrests at City Hall. We need term limits!!!! We need watch dogs.
I had my birthday lunch at the MOMA today and I say a state official having lunch. Were we the tax payers paying for his lunch or was someone wining and dining him --- I have a complete distrust of politicos and from Albany to City Hall they are robbing us tax payers one way or another, costing us millions and causing more displacement and further the death of the middle class because for the most part no one is holding them accountable so that means we will have to pay higher taxes.
It is like Mike Bloomberg's "new" Yankee Stadium we did not want. No middle class or lower income person can afford the new Yankee Stadium or this new hideous New York.
At the Jane Jacob street signing it was a horrifying joke because even the West Village has sky piercing mirrored buildings and hideous ugly buildings that busted thru zoning and belong in Miami Beach or Dubai but not here but that did not stop the orgy of admiration.
Jane Jacob is turning over in her grave!!!!!!!!
