An open letter to Mayor Michael Bloomberg:
You laud yourself on education issues when the No. 1 lesson we can teach our children is conservation of our wildlife and not its destruction, as you have done to the city geese population.
You broke our hearts here in Bayside and betrayed our trust. Our beloved Oakland Lake now lies silent since our magnificent geese, which our families enjoyed and loved, were swept up and gassed in a cruel and horrific manner with our tax dollars. Humane options were available.
All your money will not buy a single vote in this area. What you have done to Oakland Lake and our community is unforgivable and will not be forgotten come November.
