Comrades,
This is the Manhattan Community Board No. 4 Waterfront and Parks Committee
"Platform for Parks 2001". A conference document that went through several
revisions and much horse-trading, it was ratified last night.
Personally, I would have preferred 2% for Parks instead of 1% and a
separate bullet for Green Thumb http://www.greenthumbnyc.org/ instead of
it's placement under "Requirement Contracts" on page 2, but you never get
everything you want, but you demand it real hard until the final compromise.
Actually, it's not a badly written document and might be helpful in
creating similar "Platforms for Parks" by your Manhattan Community Boards.
It's always a good thing to slap our political class with alot of paper -
their brighter aides actually read it and use it as a basis for the letters
they draft to appear over their boss's signature.
A tidal wave begins with a droplet of moisture.
