Brad Lander, who covers Park Slope, and whom I normally like, just allowed their contract to expire, with the result that Seventh Ave is a smelly mess. But, hey, considering that Mathieu Eugene holds the record as the Councilperson bringing home the LEAST amount of money to his/her district, maybe we could persuade him to get some of this for us on Flatbush? Their presence would make a HUGE difference, not only in reducing litter, but in also discouraging some of the criminal activity there. I always thought the merchants paid for it, but apparently I was wrong.babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08365488181982105888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1541468051247516447.post-90725826448580218322011-09-22T10:34:40.628-04:002011-09-22T10:34:40.628-04:00And it goes (almost) without saying that I think T...And it goes (almost) without saying that I think Tish James is super fabulous (and wears great shoes for someone on her feet so much!). She or a representative (and sometimes both) attends every single CB9 and 71st Precinct Community Council meeting, as is also true for Darlene Mealy in the 41st District. The one time I saw Mathieu Eugene at a CB9 meeting he got the heck out of Dodge as soon as he realized that the swill he was selling wasn't going down as expected (which he would have known in advance had he actually communicated with his constituents). He has to go!babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08365488181982105888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1541468051247516447.post-18058772935864859052011-09-20T13:42:14.823-04:002011-09-20T13:42:14.823-04:00Please compare Mathieu Eugene to just about any ot...Please compare Mathieu Eugene to just about any other City Councilperson, and you will see what a scandal it is that he is our elected representative. Two neighboring districts have great people - Jumaane Williams, in Flatbush/Midwood, and Brad Lander in Park Slope/Kensington. They are active and constant communicators, using e-mail and Twitter (while, as noted, Mathieu Eugene is remarkably communications-impaired) and have both just begun a participatory budgeting process, allowing their constituents to decide how they should spend the $1 million in capital funding allocated to each district by the city. One can only imagine what our $1 million has been used for by Mathieu Eugene! Please, please, please make sure that we get this guy out in 2013!babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08365488181982105888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1541468051247516447.post-50503698441279257412011-09-19T20:08:40.858-04:002011-09-19T20:08:40.858-04:00Council member Eugene is always behind the times. ...Council member Eugene is always behind the times.

No disrespect to either the D.A. or the Councilman, but had they been at the previous meetings, their desire to get "all parties together working as one" would have already been accomplished, and we could moving on to action.Clarkson FlatBedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13463744536115119388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1541468051247516447.post-67627153034048533692011-09-16T10:30:19.161-04:002011-09-16T10:30:19.161-04:00The power of democracy.The power of democracy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1541468051247516447.post-87739125504236244902011-09-16T08:14:21.759-04:002011-09-16T08:14:21.759-04:00AFAIK the Eugene meeting is real (no surprise).
