Exclusive: Inspector General of Homeland Security investigates BPCA
Update November 10, 2013- The NY Post called us about the story, below, and ran their own version today, “The head of the Battery Park City Authority admitted he intentionally allowed Hurricane Sandy floodwaters to inundate a historic city pier — a controversial move that could soak taxpayers. Dennis Mehiel, speaking to the authority’s board at an Oct. 22 meeting, admitted workers were ordered to remove sandbags from the doors and windows of Pier A because he didn’t want the barricade to trap seawater inside. “It just seemed like a fraudulent FEMA claim. None of it made sense to me,” said Dr. Steven Greer, a surgeon and local activist who attended the meeting.”
Since FEMA and Homeland Security would not comment on the ongoing investigation, the editors decided to remove references to that aspect of the story.

The Inspector General of Homeland Security, which oversees FEMA and fraudulent claims relating to Hurricane Sandy, is now officially investigating The Battery Park City Authority for intentionally allowing Pier A to flood Continue reading

Helicopter traffic over Hudson River increases 600% under Bloomberg era
October 25, 2013- A NJ source has a nice article on the out-of-control tourist helicopter noise plaguing humans who reside along the East River and Hudson River.

The article states, “The Eastern Region Helicopter Council, which represents the five tour operators, acknowledges helicopters Continue reading

Bob Townley claims to serve BPC more than any other organization
November 4, 2013- By Steven E. Greer
BatteryPark.TV previously reported that Bob Townley was making a play for the Stuyvesant community center, possibly as a way to angle his way in to getting back the large grants from the BPCA that recently were cut off. Recall, his Manhattan Youth was receiving at least $250,000 a year in free money from the BPCA even though his community center is in Tribeca, not BPC.

CB1’s Anthony Notaro regurgitates BPCA excuses for not funding traffic lights
Update November 5, 2013- At the November 4th CB1 meeting, Anthony Notaro explains how he blindly accepts the BPCA’s excuse for not funding traffic lights in unsafe zones of south BPC, despite having paid for the traffic lights on North End Ave by Goldman Sachs. The explanation he regurgitates is actually a bogus one. The lights on Murray and North End were funded and built only a year ago, long after the city took control of the streets. Therefore, the BPCA explanation breaks down.
Once again, the CB1 is more interested in carrying water for the BPCA rather than fighting for what is best for the community. Continue reading

Exclusive: A source of funds for the Stuyvesant Community Center
November 4, 2013- By Steven E. Greer
The Battery Park City subcommittee of the CB1 met at Asphalt Green tonight. The main topic was the planned closure of the Stuyvesant Community center (which for some reason suddenly has the attention of Sheldon Silver and his soldier Bob Townley). Paul Goldstein from Silver’s office began with a history of how the agreement between the BPCA and Department of Education came to be, which gives the community access to the gyms and pools of the high school (see video for the lengthy discussion).
Essentially, in order to Continue reading
