Court dismisses case against man falsely accused of being child predator

October 30th, 2013- By Steven E. Greer, MD
The local advertising flier, the Broadsheet (BS), reported on September 30th that a scary child abductor was caught and arrested while trying to lure away several children from the ballfields on Murray Street. The report claimed that some of the parents refused to press charges, which elicited strong condemnation from readers. The article was replete with mistakes and the truth is far less sensational. (The original BS article seems to have been removed from BS archives).
At the October 24th monthly community affairs meeting of the First Precinct, Commander Timoney explained that the man arrested was Continue reading

Community Centers are magnets for corruption
April 3, 2013 Op-Ed By Steven E. Greer, MD
The trials and tribulations of the Battery Park City community center, to be run by Asphalt Green, and also the associated controversies with the nearby Downtown Community Center, managed by Bob Townley’s Manhattan Youth, are not unique to Lower Manhattan. All across the country, “Community Centers” are magnets for corruption as contractors vie for the lucrative builds, vendors fight to win “RFP” contracts, and the politicians in charge extort money, take bribes, or operate in other unethical means.

BPCA does a 180, decides to keep funding the Stuyvesant community center
November 26, 2013- In a complete reversal, the BPCA has decided to keep the Stuyvesant community center open, rather than cut off the $203,000 in funding spent each year.
