No wonder Christine Quinn, The Villager and NYU wanted to keep as many people out of the debate despite NYU being the community crushing no. 1 developer, real estate magnate in the Village East and West -- NYU just couldn't find a place large enough to accommodate many senior citizens who made the effort to turn out because they believe in democracy and they along with so many community members and the press including NY1 were turned away.
Recap: Lincoln Air Head Anderson practically flat out lies and makes a joke of Mr. Bob Ortiz-Arroyo suffering because that is what it was it was...Anderson says he rolls in which was not the truth. Mr. Ortiz-Arroyo made an Olympic effort to get there and he did it by himself. Anyone who has seen him around the community knows he doesn't roll. He has a laborious process which is indeed Olympic and when he got to the debate he was turned away over and over. I told NYU I was filming this and putting on YouTube and would send to the press which I did. Another outspoken and outraged community member takes Mr. Ortiz-Arroyo's wheel chair and pushes him past the security guard after a long screaming match, outrage, finally the NYU security guard steps aside but I assure you Anderson's account of Mr. Ortiz-Arroyo "rolling" on in was a lie and adds insult to injury.
As seen in my YouTube and another YouTube that are only in the piece two posting below this one -- you can see part of the battle which includes many people yelling this is an OUTRAGE but Anderson erases that which is standard operating procedure by Anderson and he does this often for the people that run the community which is NYU and friends. I briefly interview Mr. Ortiz-Arroyo and he can barely speak and I ask him how does it feel to be turned away and mouths the words "AWFUL". I have an image of him after that holding his throat as if in pain.
What I witnessed was not a gentleman that simply rolled in as Lincoln Anderson describes and pretend that there was no terrible, shameful and behavior so awful that it caused this man upset from what I could tell...He made an Olympic effort but Anderson appears to make light of it and sweep it under the wrong. Air head and buffoon are too kind words for what Anderson did. Take a good look at him in this pathetic YouTube of a democrat who won't vote for a democrat and doesn't think denying the people a referendum and allowing a city council being investigated for corruption to vote on extending term limits is not a conflict of interest.
How did the Working Family Party come to support Quinn who is Mike Bloomberg's puppet and she won't support a democrat?
I do not understand how anyone can back Christine Quinn when she like the mayor had full knowledge of an on going investigation in to corruption including blatant stealing and abuse of tax payer money. If she had integrity she would have said City Council must not vote on term limits for the people because there is an investigation which folks is on going and it would be a conflict of interest. One of many as far as I am concerned.
