Hi George,
Hope you are doing well and still giving ‘em hell.
Loved the Trigg, MD article about Pier 40. St. Vincent’s screw job all over again. And the usual brilliant planning to have the meeting just after Memorial Day. Surprised they didn’t do it on the Friday before, but of course that would have ruined the moguls and politicians’ long beach weekend. Disgusting and so abusive of the people that actually live in the Village.
And then there was the piece on the Lenox Hill redevelopment. This is exactly what the upper east side needs since we all know there is a desperate shortage of hospital beds and acute care access up there. Just watch how much money the city, state, and feds kick in for this renovation and remember how generous they were with St. Vincents Hospital.
This crap never stops. Very sad and infuriating. I particularly loved that Glick and Hoylman—two supposed progressive liberal dems—were part of the Pier 40 meeting. Never ceases to amaze me how fast these politicians get bought out.
Keep fighting George. You are a hero.
