Posted on February 18, 2013 by Editor

Opinion February 5, 2013 By Steven E. Greer

As previously reported, the Gateway plaza Tenants Association convened a meeting last night to discuss the energy audits and what needs to be done to bring Gateway into the 21st Century of energy efficiency.

CB1 pretends the Galloway/Townley anti-Asphalt Green MOU never existed

Posted on February 16, 2013 by Editor

February 16, 2012 By Steven E. Greer

BatteryPark.TV has previously exposed the scandal behind the attempt of CB1 member Jeff Galloway to draft an unwanted Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), and have it signed by the BPCA, which would have served to protect the special interests of Bob Townley’s nearby Manhattan Youth from competition from the new Asphalt Green community center. Recall, this MOU was never signed for more than two years by the Gayle Horwitz BPCA administration, and was thought to be dead when BPCA Chairman announced that he would not sign it. Then, in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, the proponents of the MOU thought that the crisis might represent an opportunity, and resubmitted a tamer version of the MOU. After BP.TV reporting, this latest MOU was never brought up as a resolution to be voted upon at the December 19th CB1 meeting and seemed to have a short life.

Therefore, BP.TV submitted a freedom of information request to CB1 to obtain the mystery MOU. The CB1 legal staff replied Continue reading →

BatteryPark.TV has exclusively reported that the BPCA has the authority to replace the ballfields, and repair the Asphalt Green community center, without going though lengthy RFP contract delays.
