Winners and losers if the BPCA were to be dissolved

BPC aerial view 3December 4, 2013- By Steven E. Greer, MD

Over the last three years, Governors of New York have appointed three different administrations to run the Battery Park City Authority (BPCA) in Lower Manhattan, along the Hudson River. Two of the Chairmen, James Gill and Bill Thompson, abruptly resigned after scandals, and the third one, Dennis Mehiel (also the CEO), is trying to survive his own series of scandals. All three of the Presidents, James Cavanaugh, Gayle Horwitz, and Demitri Boutris, have resigned. (The departures of Boutris and Horwitz were days after exclusive reports in BatteryPark.TV of scandals.) Robert Serpico is the current “Acting President”, making him the fourth one to run the BPCA within three years.

BPCA buries bad news about ballfields on a holiday Friday

Update December 22, 2012

The BPCA news section, which was the source for the story, below, has been removed since our reporting.

December 21, 2012 By Steven E. Greer, MD

The Dynamic Duo of the BPCA’s misinformation team, Anne Fenton and Matthew Monahan, are at it again. The most important update of the year coming from the BPCA was buried inside an obscure BPCA website that almost no one in the community even knows exists.
