In a recent issue, letters probed the Community Board 7 and Willets Point giveaway to big business. Of course, CB 7 heads are getting something out of the Willets Point deal, as they got from the Fort Totten gift to the FDNY, and as the Bay Terrace Mall permits on size.
They even disregard term limits and the ringleaders have been in control for 20 years. You want proof? Look at Main Street-Flushing: Every inch is filled with hotels and 20-story, million-dollar apartments instead of public housing for the lower-middle class and veterans.
Someday sit and watch what goes in and out of Fort Totten. It is not U.S. Army veterans. The homeless veterans should be living at abandoned Fort Totten, which should not be a haven for a firefighter school and or fireboat storage center.
How can an Army base not be used by our veterans but become a giant firefighter resort with a pool and recreation center? We see what goes on in and out of the Army base and it is not Army veterans.
Something is rotten in the state of Denmark, which has seven letters. A clue?
