When I praised Barron for a home run out of the ball park statement about term limits one of his supporters who praised "Mayor Bloomberg King of New York" my first YouTube, wrote me not realizing I am Jewish and made anti-semtic comment. I identified myself and asked the person to never contact me again. They did not which I appreciated.
So why would I want Barron over Quinn. He will do a better job representing the people. Quinn in place is essentially Mike Bloomberg ruling since she is his puppet but worse she is a sell out. I just am too tired to post all the links but they are on many of my YouTubes slamming her and Benjamin Lesser's pieces in The NY Daily News are excellent. There is on in The Village Voice and even The NY Times exposes her but since The NY eminent domain Times is beholden to Mike Bloomberg real estate mayor they try and soften the conflicts of interest. The NY Post hit a home run out of the ball park exposing the fact she and certain city council staff have top white collar crime defense attorneys and firms costing the tax payers a fortune.
Hey Christine Quinn -- why do you need a top defense attorney that specializes in White Collar Crime?
I read some where but do not have the link -- that her life partner is on the board of a group that Quinn throws major pork aka tax payer money to WHICH IS NEPOTISM and conflict of interest yet again.

She is a sell out, dishonest, uses intimidation and puts developers ahead of the people of this city. She gets huge donations that according to NY Daily expose-- sure appear to be like kickbacks and commission along with other city council members like Melissa Katz who thankfully is no longer serving the people or dis-serving them.
When I rallied against her -- some gay people said I must be Republican -- I said no! There is a much better choice and that is Yetta Kurland. She is gay and a civil rights attorney. But even sadder was the third candidate Derr. If she had simply stepped down and worked to support Kurland, Kurland would have beaten Quinn. Some people think Derr was helping Quinn which is hard to believe but her refusal to step down aided Quinn in a shady win since The Villager endorsed her and the paper along with NYU -- real estate magnate -- pres. runs down to testify Mike has to have a 3rd term knowing the next mayor would not let NYU crush our communities the way NYU has from Stuy Town -- to the Village East and West to the Seaport. The Villager and NYU were in the Quinn -- Bloomberg camp -- because if you endorse Quinn you endorse flushing democracy down the toilet and oligarch Mike (the east village has a mini-oligarch mike as well) and NYU and The Villager somehow managed to accommodate all of Quinn's supporters who magically made it to the front of the line of the debate hosted by the evil empire and sell out as in principals not at the new stands ever...
Many people believe Quinn knowingly allowed money to be allotted to fake organizations and also had knowledge of city council members that did not even live in their own districts so now finally she is demanding some proof you actually live in the district you supposedly represent.
I believe she is ruthless and her first priority are developers although she tries her best to play on people's emotions....one woman past me when I was protesting Quinn at the Jane Jacobs street naming and supported Quinn. I handed her the Benjamin Lesser piece....she read it shook her head and Quinn lost a supporter. She had Bloomberg backed high power hype but she is not what she appears to be and she must go.
The press is reporting he has no chance in winning but I am glad he is run in opposition. If he doesn't win, I do believe he will make people think long and hard which they would not do if she has no opposition.

http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/2009/07/12/2009-07-12_some_city_politicians_received_big_campaign_donations_and_tried_to_aid_developer.html See the last paragraph of the above article by Benjamin Lesser. Benjamin Lesser deserves an award for his reporting and most especially this article. Actually here is what it says and my question -- Here are is the last paragraph in the NY Daily News article by Benjamin Lesser on Quinn Christine Quinn "Speaker Quinn sponsored $2 million for the Dermot Company's plans to build open space as part of 800 mostly market-rate apartments in the Hudson Yards development. Dermot execs have donated $24,750 to Quinn in the last two years. Dermot failed to obtain adequate financing to build the towers and the project is off. Dermot did not return calls and Quinn declined comment." from Benjamin Lesser's piece and he deserves an award for this report. I am curious -- what happens to the 2 million dollars Quinn sponorsed for Dermot? Also please read Benjamin Lesser's article on city council members taking campaign money from developers that appears to be possible kickbacks. The last paragraphs on Quinn is damming. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2009/05/31/2009-05-31_city_council.html http://www.nypost.com/p/news/regional/council_in_lush_mess_qYLZ6rCJMvOWcs0SncLl4L http://www.nydailynews.com/news/2009/06/01/2009-06-01_city_council_members_get_contributions_from_nonprofits_they_funded.html#ixzz0QN6X3lI7 Please make sure you read the comments to the above article and the last one exposes Quinn yet again. Remember there is an on going investigation in to corruption of City Council at City Hall but no news and I can't help but wonder if they investigation is being swept under the rug because of the mayoral race. Either way we have heard no news but Quinn and her staff have top white collar attorney's that special in white collar crime and we the tax payers are paying for their bills. King mayor Mike Bloomberg denied the people a referendum and Christine Quinn, his puppet and he placed the vote on term limits in front of a city council being investigated for corruption. http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/archives/2009/08/speaker_quinn_p.php http://christinequinn.com/content/huffington-postcity-hall-cover-quinn-debate-fiasco Christine Quinn Donor Madness see YouTube below
One of a series of YouTube Playlists on Christine Quinn --this one her being booed. I also have the NYU The Villager fiasco on YouTube - a series exposing NY1, press, seniors all being turned away including a long term community member in a wheel chair that made an Olympic effort to get there. We fought long and hard and finally got him in.
Note: If Barron won he would have to build bridges and help heal the city -- not inflame the pain of old wounds but rather him than Quinn because she sold us out, flushed democracy down the toilet, lead a city council with history breaking conflicts of interests including denying us a referendum and is Mike Bloomberg's puppet.
Christine Quinn acts like she works for Mike Bloomberg's private empire not the public one he calls NYC.
p.s. Amanda socialite mega millonaire, the worst city planner ever -- the people's BURDEN, Amanda Burden most go as well. She represent developers including ruthless Columbia University, Cooper Union, NYU and even NY Law that built a sky piercing mega dorm on East 3rd Street and has no campus in the E. Village but followed NYU confusing the East Village for DORM fodder.
Mike Bloomberg, Christine Quinn and Amanda the people's Burden represent ruthless developers not the people of NYC and they are as reckless pushing a tsunami of community crushing development as Wall Street which ended up imploding. NO MORE!!!!!!!! We need change.
We came close to ousting Quinn if it was not for Derr and we came close to ousting Bloomberg if it wasn't for the press working as if they too were part of Team Bloomberg.
