That would be critical to know in order to ascertain if Councilman Lander is being genuine with the Gowanus residents or just pandering for votes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36892255.post-13228104956243732662012-11-14T09:26:23.123-05:002012-11-14T09:26:23.123-05:00Shame on our Councilman!

Flood plain management is integral and required for new waterfront development in our City - period.<br /><br />The flooded communities of Greenpoint-Williamsburgh have recovered 100% while the low-density Rockaways will need our help for years. Mr. Lander supported that rezoning but has now changed his tune to win Gowanus votes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36892255.post-81182030911070704922012-11-14T08:04:03.909-05:002012-11-14T08:04:03.909-05:00Lander's "new" position proves that ...Lander's "new" position proves that the position taken by the CB's Land Use Committee WAS correct and that the Board at it's regular monthly meeting should have supported its own committee. why they didn't and who was pulling the Board memeber's strings is something that this community should know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36892255.post-1319384411742837722012-11-13T17:20:11.552-05:002012-11-13T17:20:11.552-05:00Regarding the shelter, it is filled with homeless ...Regarding the shelter, it is filled with homeless vets right now.

Is it too late for Councilman Lander's fine and words to have an impact?<br /><br />This is such a hopeful sign that our Councilman understands the pulse of the Gowanus/Carroll Gardens community and his constituents. I hope this was not simply a last minute political band aid for Lighstone's environmentally disastrous development project plan!Tony C.noreply@blogger.com
