The Thoughts Of A Writer In New York City.
About This Editor: I am a writer. Have been writing for other sites, but expect to do most of my future work HERE! My expertise extends from the esoteric such as burning hydrogen to the unpredictability of the stock market and my writing makes me a jack of all trades and exasperated master of none. I have had some influence over national wildfire and water policy and there are hints of a change in energy policy, BUT as Samuel Goldwyn once said, "A verbal promise is not worth the paper it is written on." |

Something dishonest is going on this election season in New York (again). We have a Mayor, who boasts a business background, translated to mean Bloomberg computer terminals, and for some reason he is seeking to have the City buy from a State agency construction rights on a site that should have been used for a football stadium or, at the very minimum, an extension of the Javits Convention Center, with no clearly announced public purpose, yet the City is being accused of underpaying for the site by the current Attorney General, and assumed Democratic State Gubernatorial Candidate.
Something sneaky has to be going on since public hearings and a lot of public relations are usually the norm for large projects. I ask why play shell games? What public purpose is being served? Keep in mind that this is the Mayor who spent more to renovate the symbolically corrupt Tweed Court House than Boss Tweed originally spent on cheating the public in the first place.
I already have been through two big rent hikes caused, first, by a real estate tax increase that was passed straight through to my co-op bill and, a second, for me, big increase caused by the soaring price of crude oil. These increses do not yet include an increase in state level expenses caused by adding a large number of health care workers to the New York State expenditures column.
Now we have the same gubernatorial candidate apparently preparing to run in favor of gay marriage even though there still appears to be a lot of anti-homosexual discrimination built into the very institutions that Mr. Spitzer stands for. I quote, “Don’t ask, don’t tell.” I also want to point out it is also still easy to ask gays to leave many, many jobs.
Sot why tout Gay Marriage? For one thing, Attorney General Spitzer appears to be running on a background of fear and intimidation when he chooses to take this approach, except for gays who should get married so they can readily be identified as homosexual. For another, this is all double talk designed to enhance the Spitzer game plan.
I think it is clear Eliot Spitzer is throwing spit balls.
