Giuseppi Logan Larry Roland African American Jazz by Suzannah B. Troy



FYI, the food is delicious. I had a fresh carrot pudding desert that was vegan and out of this world delicious and blueberry lemonade.

Don't forget to watch my YouTube series on Giuseppi Logan from finding him all alone in Tompkins to helping him reunite with his son for the first time in 40 years!

The miracle of Apple teaching me video and YouTube helped me work a miracle.



I filmed Larry Roland, a bass player who was playing with Giuseppi Logan giving Gisueppi a rest break with a solo performance.

Larry Roland read his poem dedicated to African American jazz greats, known and unknown. Larry Roland told me when I interviewed him after the gig that "Jazz", America's Art form was kicked off by slaves. Larry told me his concerns for jazz greats known and unknown some in homes, forgotten, with no health insurance. He expressed a real feeling for Giuseppi Logan. He told me jazz greats known and unknown are dying and their spirits come down...Dying quietly.

Larry Roland's poem: Poem all of the beautiful ones
Known and unknown
Also please note Matt Lavelle is dedicated to Giuseppi Logan booking him gigs and playing with him as well as providing support and encouragement to "G" as Matt calls him.
I used the very cool new feature which I tap the screen and the camera switches to the front and I can myself as I film myself. I am not blushing...we are having a heat-wave!

Con Ed makes the call use less energy

How sad, Con Ed is actually calling customers to use less energy but it is easy to see how energy is being massively wasted almost like a very slow mo oil spill in the East River but it doesn't count until it hits us in the face in away we can't ignore.

I do resent the fact in my opinion Con Ed like many commissioners needed to say to Mike Bloomberg and his socialite mega millionaire city planner Amanda the people's Burden -- their tsunami of development was too rapid and reckless and they had to slow down and put the safety of the people and infrastructure concerns including a safe smart expansion and they did not.

I believe our Con Ed bills have gone up to pay for infrastructure expansion.

It is so out of control that Con Ed is constantly hiring outside contractors. Con Ed was not going to say no to Mike Bloomberg and we are paying in many ways.

NYU evil real estate magnate higher greed venture capitalism

NYU is branching out from being a community crushing real estate magnate to venture capitalism! Crain's reports NYU is launching their own venture capital fund

Dear Blog Readers: NYU's president is John Sexton. He ran down to City Hall to testify Mike Bloomberg must have a third term. Let me translated John Sexton' who is paid 1.8 million a year plus real estate and other perks courtesy of NYU. NYU has big financial deals and real estate investments -- huge greedy goals that good friend Mike Bloomberg and socialite mega millionaire Amanda the people's Burden will aid and abet and a mayor and a real city planner -- that actually cares about the people would have said "NO!". No is a word that NYU can't seem to understand when the community says no more mega dorms, no more supersizing our neighborhoods, no to supersizing.


I posted this comment on Crain's website and see my YouTube on a letter I wrote President Obama asking the President of the United States of America to help protect our community from NYU and helping us to get community outreach resource centers in every mega dorm where NYU and universities copying NYU's real estate greed use the term, "community facility" to exclude the communities.

By the way I continue to ask if NYU's president, John Sexton can even vote here in NYC? Sexton supported Mike Bloomberg flushing democracy down the toilet by denying us, the people a referendum so Mike could buy, steal, win a third term -- nice example for NYU students.

Parents of NYU students, visit 120 East 12th Street and see the facade of St. Ann's Church from 1847. St. Ann's survived everything all these years except NYU's need and greed to build yet another mega dorm.

Here is the comment:

Good to know NYU, the evil empire, posing as higher education so NYU can buy up and displace as many people and small businesses as possible is expanding their endeavors. Karma served NYU by hiring someone who was suckered by Bernie Madoff. NYU could care less about the communities where they occupy and gobble up prime real estate. NYU only has one focus "greed" and being a big business that uses "higher ed" as a tax shelter for "higher greed".

Con Ed DEP Gas leak hell NYC? by Suzannah B. Troy







See my YouTube from this morning that shows all the Con Ed trucks, DEP vehicles where it looked like a bomb dropped by the North West entrance of Tompkins Square Park which was closed off by the Parks Dept. for safety.

I wrote Dollar Bill Dan Doctoroff before the steam pipe explosion by Grand Central and alerted him to William Yardley's piece in The New York Times as well as my letter in AM New York the month before Yardley's piece concerned for infrastructure and safety.

I was told by DEP it was a water main break but in actuality a source told me it was a gas leak and the FDNY responded first.

Watch the YouTube to get more of a visual of how much of the street they are tearing up and for those unfamiliar with the area DOT is getting ready to pave 2nd and 1st Avenue but it will be a short term mess in my opinion because we have had too many infrastructure breaks and I don't think they root problems have been addressed so I believe the "new" streets will be looking like this one Sunday morning.


I have a YouTube documentary series plus NY1's coverage of a water main break on 2nd Avenue and 7th Street from 3 years ago and part of the intersection keeps reopening.


I am going to be repetitive because I am tired and I want your attention.


This morning the FDNY responded and I am told it was a gas leak. A DEP guy told me it was a water main break but I heard it was a gas leak. What ever it is it looks like a bomb dropped and this is Mike Bloomberg's streets of New York ever since he pushed a reckless, stupid, greed driven development to help his rich buddies and the construction industry but at the expense of the people of New York in way too many way.

We need more press coverage on this. We need the press to make city gov tell us how many infrastructure breaks we have had since Bloomberg came to office in each section of NYC and we need to examine how we can stop what feels like another Bloomberg Titanic problem and finally put the safety of New Yorkers first.








http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0oiUtXoG5c

Yes this is the YouTube from this morning in case you missed it.

I don't know what else to do except hire a hot air ballon that says "Safety First!" stop the reckless tsunami of development mayor Bloomberg and for once put the people first. Enough is enough!

Mike Bloomberg decided that the commissioner of DOB did not have to have an architectural degree or an engineering degree. Mike and the city have been sued on this issue and lost the first round. I am assuming the judge is a friend of rich developers and blind to how many deaths and injuries suffered by this Bloomberg's reckless tsunami of development.

As told to me BP over ridded their engineers advice and I get the vibe this was the same here in NYC.

More on that later. I have heard some news and I think news reporters will be reporting more on this soon.

The East Village, Lower East Side looks like a bomb dropped and Cooper Union next zone buster has been put on hold for 2 years while the area around the building where I filmed a YouTube voicing my concerns for the safety of the community looks like bombs have dropped and Con Ed is also a main stay there.

The tsunami of reckless development was as stupid and greedy as what brought the implosion of Wall Street on and the streets are in the worse shape they have been in years. DOT repaving them appears to be a wasteful band-aid because the infrastructure problems have not been addressed and as the old infrastructure problems keep busting open, Mike is pushing more infrastructure expansion but all of this -- old and new expansion should have been addressed city wide before the reckless development.

Go to YouTube and search under Suzannahartist and street conditions, Suzannahartist infrastructure and you will also find my playlist on Mike Bloomberg' streets of NY including a fire truck on the upper west side, the front wheel falls in to a hole in the street that was from infrastructure problem. I tried to supply you with links but who knows because there is so much and I am one person. I even show you the subway station at Union Square with water on the ground from a pipe leaking with gauze around the pipe like a broken limb.

Mike and his developer friends only cared about their reckless development and not that the city was in bad shape and not able to absorb the development including Columbia University, NYU and Cooper Union as well as hotel and condo developers all busting through zoning and wanted the people displaced and cared nothing about our safety and the conditions of our streets, way lay beneath them and a rotted, dilapidated subway system where the stations are rotted and leaking and there are so many rats I call it the MTA Rat Circus for New Yorkers standing waiting for trains.

Welcome to king Mike's "new" hideous New York.

Vince McMahon Mixed Martial Arts Albany Doomsday by Suzannah B. Troy

Is Vince McMahon going to welcome a new kind of fight club if Governor Paterson succeeds in passing a measure that would allow "mixed martial arts" here in NYC or will this cut in to his and Linda's mega-bucks cash cow, the WWE? The accidental governor is trying to push "mixed martial arts" here in NY because New York State is in a budget catastrophe and it is correctly believed this form of fighting will make big bucks and raise money for the city and state. The only people besides peace loving vegetarians who won't be welcoming mixed martial arts are the McMahon family and martial art purists perhaps?

Note: I called Vince McMahon at the WWE's offices but it is Saturday and there is no way to leave a voice mail asking him for a comment for my blog posting.


I posted this comment on The New York Post website on the article, "Ultimate Fight for Every Dollar".


and this comment was posted after mine....

For those who have not checked in recently the budget deficit is currently 9.2 billion dollars and the clowns of Albany have not yet balanced the budget.

The budget was supposed to be balanced April 1, 2010. Monday is "doomsday part 2" and this will be the 2nd Monday this year where we find out if we will have a historical shut down by the clowns of Albany. They avoided a humilating shut-down last time and again if they don't they plunge the State and City of NY in to a possible official depression and I am not talking an emotional state but an economic state of depression although some New Yorkers are already living that way....sad to say.

For more info on the clowns of Albany read "Gov's doomsday deadline".
Hold on tight and stay tuned...

Columbia University NYU's evil twin Dark Day for democracy NYC yet again

It was yet another dark day for democracy here in NYC. The big apple has seen so many dark days under Bloomberg, a mayor who denied the people of New York City a referendum so he could push threw a third term to crown himself king of New York also pushed a reckless tsunami of development and aided and abetted his developer friends. Ditto for in my opinion the worst city planner in NYC's history, socialite mega-millionaire Amanda the people's Burden.


Amanda the people's Burden knows her reputation is shot so word on the street is she tells people she is doing Mike Bloomberg's bidding. She and Mike may be one of the largest mass displacement of New Yorkers if you don't include the original real Natives, the American Indians. King Mike, the nanny mayor, has managed to piss them off too. Mike Bloomberg was not smart enough to figure out if you displace people and than call them and ask them to vote for you either their telephone numbers are now disconnected and or they and their friends will hang up on your campaign staff. Team Bloomberg found that out and also set a record for the most expensive -- $110 million campaign price tag for the most humiliating win. Lucky for Teflon Mike The NY Post is not doing anymore investigative research on how Mike spent 109 million dollars and Cy Vance seems unwilling to give king Mike even a slap on the wrist for wiring money out of his personal account instead of the campaign account. Mike Bloomerg also holds the purse strings to Cy Vance, the Manhattan DA's budget allotment. Ouch. Back to today's dark day and Columbia University doing everything but holding a gun to the peoples' heads to get them to move. Who needs thugs when you have judges that side with ruthless developers and not the people?


Norman Siegel one a powerful first round against Columbia University but it was no surprise he lost round two since this was the very same set of judges that ruled in favor of eminent domain abuse in Brooklyn.


Read the Crain's article and decide for yourself. My opinion is this is very sad news. A dark day for the people. Watch my YouTube playlist and hear directly from people being abused by Columbia University's abuse of eminent domain. http://www.youtube.com/my_playlists?p=8C438F43D7335594 Watch interviews of people being evicted by Columbia University abusing eminent domain. I also have an interview with Norman Siegel at a protest on the Columbia University campus where even students joined the protest and sad "Not in our name!"





This is all part of the mass displacement under Bloomberg.

Gary Newton volunteer Sing for Hope piano in Tompkins

Gary Newton has the combo to the locks on the piano in Tompkins so that makes him a very important volunteer for the program "Sing for Hope" -- "Arts Activism in Action".

I attended a meeting last night downtown and past two more pianos in a small Tribeca park but no one was playing them. Some how I have a feeling if they were in Tompkins all the pianos would be in use.

Alicia has passed on now in Doggie Heaven

Dear Readers: I met Alicia when Frank adopted her and she was very blind and Frank very devoted. She was very loving and I had some quality time with her. Rest in Peace.
Dogs have given us their absolute all. We are the center of their universe. We are the focus of their love and faith and trust. They serve us in return for scraps. It is without a doubt the best deal man has ever made. ~Roger Caras

So much love,

Frank

This is the same Frank that gave me "stuff" for 47 East 3rd Street when they were trying to raise money for their lawyers fee with a table outside their home were they were finally evicted and this is the same Frank who gave me clothes for a homeless man that would constant be in a terrible state and need fresh clothes.

His devotion to Alicia, a late in life adopted handicap dog was very moving.
Frank wrote this and sent me this quote.....



Dear Friends:

My sweet little Aquarian, Alicia Sophia, a blind Italian Greyhound rescue from the internet, passed this morning at an emergency care veterinary hospital. Inspired by my friend Mark's two beautiful Iggys, I searched Google one evening to see if there was an abandoned Iggy in need of a loving home. The search brought me to The Italian Greyhound Rescue Network and there was a picture of this blind Iggy in a foster home. I instantly knew we were meant to be family. She arrived two weeks later from New Jersey, a special needs adoption. She had been abandoned in Virginia Beach, VA two years before, left at a vet's office. She went into the foster care loop for two years. She was 7 years old then and had an enlarged heart, failing teeth, pulmonary edema, and mitral valve prolapse.

Because she was blind with cataracts, my two recently rescued Maine Coon Tabby sisters accepted her immediately into the family as no threat to them, just as they had been accepted a few months earlier by Sally Ann, my 9 year old red-eared slider turtle, who had been abandoned in the building garden when only a month old.

Alicia had been with me for only 18 months when, in March, her health began to decline with a chronic cough. Two of my clients had alerted me to the fact that they knew that cough to be an enlarged heart pressing on her esophagus. She was diagnosed as such and began 4 medications twice per day. She was stable until the day after Father's Day which was a delightful day of gratitude for all being together. I had some really wonderful play time with each of them and remember thinking how wonderfully loving and playful Alicia was on Sunday. Monday morning I heard her yelp and found her in a spastic fit that lasted several minutes. As I rushed her to the emergency care hospital, she had another seizure in my arms, only this time she was crying out for me to help her. A plan was developed and she went into ICU immediately.

At 7 pm last night, I was allowed to visit her for ten minutes and she looked like an angel resting peacefully in her cage all hooked up to something or other. I spent that time telling her how amazed I was that she survived the heart attack and how special she is to me. I held her and kissed her sweetly on her nose, knowing how she liked that. She was to be released on Wednesday.

This morning she had two additional seizures in ICU and I received the call that she was not doing well. At 10 am I received a second call that she had not improved and what decision had I made? I spent the last few minutes with her as she received her injections telling her all the things a Dad tells his beloved kid knowing she would soon be gone. I had never done this before. I have never had the courage to hold a pet as it was being given a final injection but Rudy, my last cat, died at home with me and I thought I would not survive it, it was so very, very painful. This prepared me for Alicia's death today and am so thankful to Rudy for teaching me that I was strong enough to say goodbye and live through it.

Alicia could not see me this morning but she felt me and heard me and I could feel it in her heartbeat every time I told her I love her. I kept my hand on her chest until it stopped beating and only then did I break into great weeping and deep sorrow. She was a very gentle and loving creature, she was very dear to me.

“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.” - Helen Keller


May your life be filled with greater health and peace, joy and understanding.

With gratitude,

Frank

Another new hire by Mike Bloomberg his people continue to leave

http://www.crainsnewyork.com/article/20100622/FREE/100629960

Does that mean we are going to have Goldman Sachs guy behind more community crushing development in the spirit of what Mike Bloomberg recklessly pushed on old NY's infrastructure with the help of his socialite mega millionaire city planner, Amanda the people's Burden. So we have another businessman on board who does not care about the people but about business deals that are as reckless, greedy and stupid as those that brought Wall Street to implosion. How sad. Sounds like New Yorkers have to steel themselves for more ruthless endeavors Mike Bloomberg style.
Thank you,
Suzannah B. Troy

may stop this blog why because of Google

I am extremely exhausted and I may stop this blog completely -- why?

Because of Google.

Google may prohibited me from entry unless I switch to gmail, Google's email and if that is the case I amy just stop this blog.

Long story but Google is just too controlling and I don't like being forced to use their email account against me will.

I will keep my central blogs going or maybe I will get some rest and do Google's bidding.

Not sure but really really resent it.

Cy Vance's Campaign treasurer called me back very compelling.

I was very impressed with the gentleman that called me back. I was impressed and what he told me is on the NY Board of election web site. Cy Vance is paying back a debt to Guma. Everything is legal and above board.

As far as Keaney -- she pops up allegedly working with Haggerty, in an article slamming Christine Quinn and Maura Keaney for alleged intimidation of Union people and married to Guma so it is campaign incest in my opinion and it does appear that a lot in NY politics is incestuous but the part about money and Vance's campaign debt is legit at least so far. Look at Albany with the accidental gov and his father Basil and unions -- very incestuous and in my opinion a conflict of interest and NYC is riddled with conflicts of interests that seem to get by the Conflict of Interest Committee.

I am not going to dismiss everything that was sent to me yet but I am glad to get a call back from Cy Vance's campaign treasurer.

Campaign Finance Scandal Has Mayor Bloomberg and District Attorney Cyrus Vance Taking Cover
Will Attorney General Andrew Cuomo Appoint a Special Prosecutor?

June 21, 2010

It’s not surprising that Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance went easy on Mayor Mike Bloomberg in the current pay-to-play scandal involving a personal donation Bloomberg made to the New York State Independence Party. The minor Party has received considerable attention in recent months as the apparent conduit in a plan for the hiring of John Haggerty, Jr., consultant and friend of Mayor Bloomberg’s. The DA alleges that Haggerty misspent the funds, meanwhile by all accounts, it was Bloomberg’s operatives and staff, who allegedly arranged for the large donation and Haggerty’s hiring.

The matter presents unprecedented complications for the Mayor’s Office, which controls the lion’s share of the District Attorney’s budget, and for Cyrus Vance who is embroiled in his own potential campaign finance scandal concerning allegations that he evaded the legal limits placed on corporate donations. The Cyrus Vance for District Attorney campaign has written off $96,172 of a $273,349 debt owed to Mark Guma Communications, LLC through an apparent debt forgiveness agreement.

Meanwhile, Guma’s wife, Maura Keaney, was Bloomberg’s Director of Field Operations in his 2009 bid for a third term. In February 2010, just as the scandal broke in the New York Post, she was removed from the campaign payroll and given a lucrative position in the Bloomberg Administration around the same time that Deputy Mayor Kevin Sheekey moved over to Bloomberg, LLC. As a side note, Keaney was formally Manhattan Council Speaker Christine Quinn’s Deputy Chief of Staff who left the position under a dark cloud, and was later fined by the City’s Conflict of Interests Board for soliciting campaign contributions for Quinn on City time. The New York Times has also reported that Keaney received a $150,000 bonus from Bloomberg following the Mayor’s 2009 election.

In the incestuous world of New York City politics, sources indicate that John Catsimatidis, a close friend of Queens Borough Republican Chairman Phil Regusa and Vice-Chairman Vince Tabone, known to be sworn enemies of John Haggerty, Jr., is planning a fundraising event for Cyrus Vance who is now in a race to clean up the debt to Guma.

The planned fundraiser was first reported by Liz Benjamin in Capital Tonight and most recently by Adam Lisberg of the Daily News. No word yet if he will cancel the event in light of the recent campaign finance indiscretions. Even if Vance does repay Guma, the damage has already been done.

The debt according to New York State campaign finance law had to be repaid prior to the end of the 2009 election cycle or it defaults to ‘contribution’ status. In campaign Finance filings reported to the State Board of Elections, Vance already wrote off the debt by reporting the Guma Communications’ bills to the campaign as contributions. The purported actions may be considered class e felonies.

The Question of the Day in New York’s scandal-ridden rumor mill is if Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, who has jurisdiction in such matters, will engage his own investigators or call on a Special Prosecutor to look into Vance’s campaign finance indiscretions.
Even a misdeamor charge for Cy Vance related to the campaign finance violations may end his career. Any attorney admitted to the Bar in Manhattan would lose their law license if charged with even a misdemeanor, and a felony charge most certainly end in Vance's resignation.
Vance’s formidable and former opponent in the New York for DA Democratic Primary, Leslie Crocker Snyder, may also have a beef with the Vance campaign when all is said and done. Vance failed report one of the shady donations from Guma until after the primary ended, waiting instead until January 15th.

At first blush the campaign may have accepted accepted the money from Guma in a desparate attempt to garner campaign favors and cash to win at all costs. But Vance, an apparent expert in campaign finance matters, must have known the implications of the crafty filings.
It wasn't too long ago that the tables were turned: Cyrus Vance enjoyed a long and lucrative career as an attorney in Seattle, Washington where he once representated Food Services of America in a high-profile case before before United States Magistrate Judge John L. Weinberg, for making $5 million dollars in illegal campaign donations to the Republican Party. The CEO and CFO of Food Services of America were both found guilty in the case, as was the corporation. Upon the verdict, Vance reportedly commented, "The atmosphere of campaign-financing-related cases has changed dramatically in the past several years. It is now prosecuted as a criminal violation, whereas only two years ago it would have been handled as a civil fine."


Now back in New York, Andrew Cuomo may have tell us all how the story goes will end for Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance, Jr.

Points of Public Interest pertaining to Cy Vance’s Campaign Finance Irregularities in collusion with Michael Bloomberg’s campaign and Mark Guma Communications.

· Cy Vance has a longstanding debt to Mark Guma Communications for $273,349 to whom he paid more than 1.1 million dollars to for consulting and electioneering activities from September 2009-January 2010.

· On January 15, 2010, Cy Vance mysteriously reported to the State Board of Elections that he had loan/liabilities to Mark Guma Communications in the amount of $273K that dated back to 9/14/2009. (2009 10 Day Post Primary)

· In a series of shady campaign finance maneuvers reported on campaign filings throughout the 2009 election cycle, Cy Vance has apparently attempted to conceal the fact that Mark Guma has forgiven large sums of debt owed to Mark Guma Communications, Inc. previously invoiced to Cy Vance’s campaign.

· In a series of campaign finance reports, Cy Vance’s campaign reduced their liability to Mark Guma Communications, Inc. by reporting campaign expenditures on section F of their filings (with corresponding check numbers) purportedly written to Mark Guma Communications, while simultaneously reporting on Section O of his finance reports that Mark Guma was making a donation to the campaign for the same amount.

· Vance’s campaign simultaneously reduced the liabilities in section N of its filings by the exact same amounts of each “donation” reported on section O.

*See State BOE Filer ID C36419 (2009 11 Day Pre-General, 2009 27 Day Post General, 2010 January Periodic)

· Thus far, $96,172.85 in debt owed to Mark Guma Communications, Inc has been “written off” by the Cy Vance campaign in a subversive manner, and thereby evading campaign finance limits placed on corporate donations.

· (Section 14 of Election Law)The New York State Board of Elections has ruled that a company or corporation that engages in public relations does not typically lend money to its clients. Therefore, “any loan by the company which is not repaid by the date of the election would be deemed a contribution in accordance with the provisions of the law. If the amount not repaid to the corporation on the date of the election exceeds $5000, the corporation would be in violation of section 14 of Election Law which limits corporate contributions to $5000.” (NYS BOE 1977 Opinion #8)

· In addition, if the company extends credit to a campaign for services performed, with the INTENT to eventually write off the debt, this is considered an act to violate and evade the contribution limits set forth in section 14 of Election Law. (NYS BOE 1977 Opinion #8)

· Section 14-126 of State Election Law clearly states that (3) Any person who knowingly and willfully contributes, accepts or aids or participates in the acceptance of a contribution in an amount exceeding an applicable maximum specified in this article shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.

· Section 14-126 of State Election Law clearly states that (4) Any person who shall, acting on behalf of a candidate or political committee, knowingly and willfully …makes expenditures in connection with a nomination for election of any candidate, or solicits any person to make any such expenditures, for the purpose of evading the contribution limitations of this article, shall be guilty of a class E felony.

· Of further consideration, and perhaps more intriguing, is the fact that Mark Guma is married to Maura Keaney, Mike Bloomberg’s Field Operations Director for the 2009 mayoral race. Keaney worked with John Haggerty and was allegedly involved in the Election Day poll operations and planning that has come to light in recent weeks that involved alleged criminal activities.

· Keaney was moved out of her job with the campaign committee in February, around the same time the NY Post began reporting Haggerty’s enormous Election Day pay-off.

· It seems that Cy Vance was receiving his big pay-day from Mark Guma Communications, Inc.



Dear Readers: This was the comment I was directed to posted on The New York Daily News and if you haven't read Jim Dwyer's piece on Christine Quinn and Maura Keaney accused of intimidation than it is a must read. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/03/nyregion/03about.html

E. Village intersection that DEP can't seem to fix Mike Bloomberg's hideous New New York

5/23/07

My opinion is Cooper Union's supersizing of their Studio building caused this medium size water main break that looked like the East River came to 2nd Avenue.

To be responsible the mayor would have had to insisted all old pipes would have had to be replaced and expansion pipes addressed before all these over the top builds began but greed and speed are important when you are exploiting the people and the neighborhoods and no way was NYU, Cooper Union and all these hotel and condo developers going to slow down for the safety of the neighborhood and that includes the illegal air sale by the USPS to NYU at 120 East 12th St. over St. Ann's Church.


Medium sized water main break right at this intersection that continues to be a mess and DOT wants to pave the street but the infrastructure problems are not resolves.


Sept. 6, 2008 the street busts open yet again.

(note in the above photo you can see the sky piercing mirrored building -- that is one of Cooper Union's shady zone busted builds. It was a parking lot that Cooper Union old but got permission from Amanda the people's Burden to supersize and than land lease the building -- from what I gather not many people want to pay high prices for a condo on land that is leased....I don't know -- you tell me.)

Here is the same intersection today -- Mike Bloomberg's streets of New York. Trying being a senior, handicap, a parent with a baby stroller, someone like me with bad knees trying to cross or even walk on the sidewalks. It is a huge mess.

DOT is attempting to pave over the streets but it is like someone getting liposuction and not changing their eating habits.

The infrastructure problems have to be addressed.

DOT will be back having to repair the streets they are now repaving.

Mayor Bloomberg's other more insidious way to kill New Yorkers besides a tsunami of reckless development



Note: Mike has found a way to shove advertising down our throats with Red Bull creating structures where there none to advertise. If this was a street as if was designed to be than Mike could not sell advertising space here the way he does. Did you see the "Think Bloomberg" ads in Grand Central Station on the stairs and Mike Bloomberg will not divulge how much he paid if he paid anything for those ads? Maybe the MTA gave it to the king mayor for free? Who knows since Mike is not forth coming with either his private or public empire aka NYC. I am still waiting for a call back or email from his public relations woman from his private empire but she is pulling the notorious little emperor of NYC routine like when Mike is asked about his trips to Bermuda and his investments in the Cayman Islands....

How is Mike killing New Yorkers in insidious ways?
One is encouraging them to sit in traffic like this and inhale the noxious fumes from cars and trucks which as to be as bad as 2nd hand smoke if not worse! Thanks Mike.

Also the over the top reckless tsunami of development where how many New Yorkers were either killed or injured from construction accidents, cranes or pieces of cranes, scaffolding, infrastructure breaks like the Steam Pipe Explosion by Grand Central...

How many New Yorkers have made complaints about smells, toxins, noise pollution coming from construction sites all over the city. A record amount because Mike Bloomberg pushed a record amount of reckless builds all over the city -- too many, too fast to be safe or well built for that matter.

Thanks Mike the nanny mayor who wants us to cut salt out of our diet but sit in traffic and inhale pollutants!

Mike is probably in Bermuda but as exposed by the press he is less than forth coming about his trips to Bermuda which I am told he leaves early Friday mornings. In fact he is as forth coming about his trips to Bermuda as his investments in the Cayman Islands.

Regarding air quality and moves like shown in the photograph above -- could that be a possible reason that Mike Bloomberg and gang want all air testing to be approved by the NYPD? I don't know. I am just asking?

Suzannah B. Troy buys another Rishat Kamalov photo of Coney Island Union Square

Above is the link to my first photo of Rishat Kamalov which is quite large. Today I had hoped to make it to Coney Island and see the mermaids and activists, friends, characters....maybe ride the Cyclone again in the front seat....my favorite spot.

I spoke with the Kamalov's devoted wife and daughter selling his wonderful photos and they had their Artist Power sign up. They told me because of the changes put in place they would most likely be moving to Union Square.

In the meantime I told them today 1010WINS reported Robert Lederman is suing Rudy Giuliani's predecessor and I expected Robert to win and defeat the mayor king Bloomberg the way he did Guiliani.





Because I feel too tired to make it to Coney Island here is a shot of mine on my humble IPhone 3GS but get ready folks my new IPhone is on the way with a much better camera and HD video plus ZOOM!!!!!
My 3GS was white but you could only get the new phone in black. I hope to make a documentary from start to finish on my phone. I wish it was the Giuseppi Logan story....which I have up as a YouTube documentary. I have a series following NYC characters, artists, etc. but not all were filmed entirely on my Iphone and the 3GS was not HD. I love this photo of mine too! I love Rishat Kamalov's Coney Island Cyclone photos and now I have two!



Instead I bought a small photo of Kamalov's and I love it because of how he uses color and how he framed the shot! "How Sweet it is!"

Mike Bloomberg's development schemes still endangering New Yorkers

Michael Bloomberg and his administration continue to prove their reckless development continues to endanger New Yorkers....


The 9th Precinct officers stop 2 tattooed gentlemen


I don't know why they were stopped. The officers from the 9th put on their black gloves and appeared to do quite a bit of writing perhaps in their log books but I am not sure any tickets were actually issued. There were lots of people around and people were curious about why the NYPD suddenly pulled up and stopped these gentlemen.

It was peaceful and the guys walked off. I have written Commissioner Kelly repeatedly to ask that the NYPD be more forth coming with information regarding each precinct with postings directly on each precincts website so we can get the info directly from them.

In theory I could have walked up to the NYPD officers and asked them but I am not sure they would have answered me.

The 9th Precinct is now called the "Rape Precinct" and the precinct has major work to do if they are going to rehabilitate their awful reputation and that includes 2 female officers not related to the rape cops as well. My point is don't assume "problems' are purely male.

Internal Affairs did an excellent job gathering the evidence against the two officers that are responsible for the precinct being renamed the Rape Precinct. The "old" 9th Precinct was called the "//// house" by officers.

Looks like the 9th Precinct should rename themselves yet again, the "new" new 9th Precinct.


On a sad note: I have a short fictional 9-11 story that includes the 9th Precinct but it was written before the Precinct was renamed the rape precinct.

Cy Vance's Campaign Finance Irregularities in collusion with Mike Bloomberg's campaign

was sent this...posted it, made a YouTube and than made a 2nd YouTube called "Mike Bloomberg Cy Vance Campaign Incest"


Points of Public Interest pertaining to Cy Vance’s Campaign Finance Irregularities in collusion with Michael Bloomberg’s campaign and Mark Guma Communications.



· Cy Vance has a longstanding debt to Mark Guma Communications for $273,349 to whom he paid more than 1.1 million dollars to for consulting and electioneering activities from September 2009-January 2010.

· On January 15, 2010, Cy Vance mysteriously reported to the State Board of Elections that he had loan/liabilities to Mark Guma Communications in the amount of $273K that dated back to 9/14/2009. (2009 10 Day Post Primary)

· In a series of shady campaign finance maneuvers reported on campaign filings throughout the 2009 election cycle, Cy Vance has apparently attempted to conceal the fact that Mark Guma has forgiven large sums of debt owed to Mark Guma Communications, Inc. previously invoiced to Cy Vance’s campaign.

· In a series of campaign finance reports, Cy Vance’s campaign reduced their liability to Mark Guma Communications, Inc. by reporting campaign expenditures on section F of their filings (with corresponding check numbers) purportedly written to Mark Guma Communications, while simultaneously reporting on Section O of his finance reports that Mark Guma was making a donation to the campaign for the same amount.

· Vance’s campaign simultaneously reduced the liabilities in section N of its filings by the exact same amounts of each “donation” reported on section O.

*See State BOE Filer ID C36419 (2009 11 Day Pre-General, 2009 27 Day Post General, 2010 January Periodic)

· Thus far, $96,172.85 in debt owed to Mark Guma Communications, Inc has been “written off” by the Cy Vance campaign in a subversive manner, and thereby evading campaign finance limits placed on corporate donations.

· (Section 14 of Election Law)The New York State Board of Elections has ruled that a company or corporation that engages in public relations does not typically lend money to its clients. Therefore, “any loan by the company which is not repaid by the date of the election would be deemed a contribution in accordance with the provisions of the law. If the amount not repaid to the corporation on the date of the election exceeds $5000, the corporation would be in violation of section 14 of Election Law which limits corporate contributions to $5000.” (NYS BOE 1977 Opinion #8)

· In addition, if the company extends credit to a campaign for services performed, with the INTENT to eventually write off the debt, this is considered an act to violate and evade the contribution limits set forth in section 14 of Election Law. (NYS BOE 1977 Opinion #8)

· Section 14-126 of State Election Law clearly states that (3) Any person who knowingly and willfully contributes, accepts or aids or participates in the acceptance of a contribution in an amount exceeding an applicable maximum specified in this article shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.

· Section 14-126 of State Election Law clearly states that (4) Any person who shall, acting on behalf of a candidate or political committee, knowingly and willfully …makes expenditures in connection with a nomination for election of any candidate, or solicits any person to make any such expenditures, for the purpose of evading the contribution limitations of this article, shall be guilty of a class E felony.

· Of further consideration, and perhaps more intriguing, is the fact that Mark Guma is married to Maura Keaney, Mike Bloomberg’s Field Operations Director for the 2009 mayoral race. Keaney worked with John Haggerty and was allegedly involved in the Election Day poll operations and planning that has come to light in recent weeks that involved alleged criminal activities.

· Keaney was moved out of her job with the campaign committee in February, around the same time the NY Post began reporting Haggerty’s enormous Election Day pay-off.

· It seems that Cy Vance was receiving his big pay-day from Mark Guma Communications, Inc.

Yankee Stadium Parking lot owes NYC millions but developer contractors architects can break the law not pay fines IT IS OKAY to the tune of over a bi

http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/2010/06/16/2010-06-16_parking_pitch_was_all_windup_340m_stadium_garage_system_owes_city_87m.html

Excellent reporting http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LPxDc3ggdE I talk about this article and CityTime tax payers Titanic that you continue to expose. I heard on the street that the city ECB environmental control board- was owed over a billion dollars by developers, etc Christine Quinn collected lets say 14 million and forgave almost a billion in dept. I am told DOB was owed a fortune and not only does not collect but doesn't shut down corrupt developers. architects, contractors because that would be bad for business. We wouldn't have to have all these catastrophic cuts if the city and state of NY were not so corrupt.



I posted the above comment on the NY Daily News website.

I would add to push economic development that catered to the mega rich and crushed our communities city wide causing mass displacement Mike Bloomberg threw out the legal requirement that DOB commissioner have an architect degree and or an engineer degree.


DOB has a notorious history for taking pay-offs as I am guessing so is DEB - Dept of environmental protection based on all the violations I can see and hear but when we saw all these deaths and injuries under Mike Bloomberg's greedy reckless tsunami what was further exposed was DOB was sending out crane inspectors that did not have the education and qualifications required.


Bloomberg followed Guiliani's lead to supposedly save the city money but really to give greedy developers the green light to break the law and not get caught but allowing architects to self certify so you had corrupt architects like Robert Scarano breaking the law. DOB would have let it slide and did with too many of his zone busting buildings called finger buildings because they all bust through zoning and give the community the finger.


Activists worked so hard to expose Scarano's corruption he was FINALLY stopped.


I will never ever go in to the Bowery Hotel, a Scarano building that some how got to bust threw zoning on the Bowery like NYU mega dorms on 3rd Ave which become the Bowery and led the way for mysterious zone busters under Bloomberg and how many infrastructure breaks did we have in the East Village, Lower East Side China Town -- way too many --- ditto city wide.


Could you imagine if you are not a developer, contractor, mega rich money manager especially Mike Blomberg's personal money manger but a regular person -- do you think the City of New York would forgive your debt? Would you be allowed to go about your business if you don't pay your parking tickets?


If the city can't police all the builds that Bloomberg and Amanda the socialite mega millionaire city planer, Amanda the peoples' Burden green lighted than they should not have given out all the free passes to break the laws, exploit the city and lives were lost not to mention developers, contractors and architects seem to be most above the law....
