I got a mailing from Rajkumar that stated that the NYU building project was a “land-grab”. NYU can’t grab the land it already owns. I would have expected better from a candidate who touts her Ivy League degrees as proof that she’s capable of leading.

You don’t live in CD1 do you? So,why the hate?

If you did live here, you would know that Chin has sold out the Little Guy countless times:
– from handing over Greenwich Village to NYU real estate interests, to selling out Chinatown and SoHo to Business Improvement Districts;
– from overturning landmark designation of an 1817 Federal townhouse owned by an overseas bank who gave Chin $5900 in campaign funds as a reward for her treachery, to selling out the historic South St Seaport to the Howard Hughes Corp;
– from reneging on her promised of affordable housing on the LES to being backed by hundreds of thousands of dollars from real-estate billionaires’ PAC;
– Etc,etc.

Why the hate for Jenifer who stood by us community activists while Chin and Quinn ordered us ejected from the Council chambers?

Why the hate when Chin made racist remarks in The Villager that Jenifer’s donors were “South Asians” (conveniently ignoring that hers were, well, North Asians). (Not to forget your racist comparison to Bhutto, who, my friend is Pakistani, not Indian. Shame on you.)

And what foolishness is it to expect one to show political persuasion in English class in college?

Wassa matter? Why the hate?

She did better in English class than you? Or likely ignore you? Getting back now for her rebuffs, you scorned “little person”.

You mention Shakespeare. Indeed, hell hath no fury than a man scorned.

whoever the person is that wrote this misinformation, can’t be from nyc because if they are they are either very detatched from what’s been happening in that 1st councilmatic district, or have a sinister reason for posting such misinformation and 2nd they leave out a key and controvesial endorsement that even councilman chin should be trying very hard to not associate herself with, the pac “Jobs 4 New York” the pac is realeastate big wigs and bankers, that latches onto to a candate wether that canidate wants it or not. They con prespective voters into thinking they are about jobs and livible wages, but in reality they are about gentrifying neighborhoods of nyc making them market rate rent only to live in.

It would be very wise to check anything before it is allowed to be posted on this blog. “Misinformation.” Is a dangerous thing.

Do you live in NYC District 1? If so, then it’s surprising that you’re such a cheerleader for Councilmember Margaret Chin, who has failed to produce on each and every promise she made when running for City Council for the 3rd time in 2009 (failing twice previously in her attempts to get elected). What has Chin achieved in her first (hopefully final) four years? Sold out Downtown Manhattan to real estate interests at NYU, in Chinatown & SoHo, at the South Street Seaport and at the Seward Park Urban Renewal Area (SPURA). She asks her constituents to “have her back” but then turns around and slides the blade in, deep and slow, as she cuts back room deals with bankers & investors.

Jenifer Rajkumar is for true representation of her many varied constituents throughout Council District 1 and will be a refreshing change from the flip-flopping and mendacity of the last four years.
