Watch this full TOWN HALL ON AIR RIGHTS AND THE HUDSON PARK TRUST called by ANDREW BERMAN of the GREENWICH VILLAGE HISTORICAL SOCIETY and hear the voices of the smart people who live in Greenwich Village and Chelsea who spoke up with serious questions. These residents felt left out of any discussion before the stealth bill intro'd by Assemblymembers Deborah Glick and Richard Gottfried and passed in a rush at 3 AM at the end of last session of the NYS legislature. No public hearing was held prior to Glick and Gottfried's action. Both attended with Glick bolting soon after the announcement was made that Cuomo had signed the legislation into law at the end of the day. Gottfried tried to spin community involvement but local Greenwich St resident Sandy Russo was having none of his spin. Newly elected District Leader, Arthur Schwartz had his nice face on (he has called for Glick resignation) reminding people that with the new Mayor and Borough President there would be changes in the HRP but was silent on the ramification to the local area if the air rights auction does take place. Here is video recording of the TOWN HALL meeting
In a HEALTH CRISIS how long it takes to get to an emergency room is a matter of LIFE AND DEATH. We need a hospital with a trauma 1 emergency room to replace St Vincent's in Greenwich Village on the West Side of Manhattan. Now there is no hospital or authentic emergency room to treat over a million people who live/work on the West Side in a critical health crisis. Urgent Care, no matter how fancy, can NOT by law, treat critical health emergencies: HEART ATTACK, STROKE, child CHOKING, etc.
