Bloomberg 2005

You are wrong.

1) When you write to the Mayor his people reading the emails decide if it should go to the Mayor or send it direct to the person in charge. You could be sure that if 100 people will write about the same issue the Mayor will be notified that there is a concern in the community.

2) Why cause a Chillul Hashem by sending email's to the Mayors staff and have the newspapers pickup on the issue again.

3) You could be sure that if you call/write to Councilman Simcha Felder about this he will be more effective in getting this resolved (if it has not been resolved yet). He speaks to Mayor direct and to the Health Commissioner direct about this issue.

NEWS FROM ASSEMBLYMAN DOV HIKIND

August 1, 2005 for immediate release

HIKIND LIKES MIKE FOR MAYOR

"New York City is in better shape than it was four years ago."


Hakoras Hatov was the order of the day as Assemblyman Dov Hikind (Democrat-Brooklyn) crossed party lines to endorse Republican Mayor Mike Bloomberg: "New York City is in better shape than it was four years ago. We owe the mayor our gratitude for doing the impossible, the insurmountable and the incredible.

"In every area he has done almost the impossible. Mike Bloomberg took crime down even lower than the 20-year lows we were seeing four years ago. We've got crime statistics down 20%. The Mayor is working closely with our communities to make our daily lives better than ever. His responsiveness to the concerns and sensitivities of our communities has been and continues to be outstanding.

"I have worked with New York's mayors for more than 20 years. What a delight it has been to work with Mayor Bloomberg! He listens, he cares, and he makes it happen. This has been a great marriage between New Yorkers and Mike Bloomberg. Who would want to separate or divorce when things are going so well?

"Four years ago, race relations were tearing this City apart, neighborhood by neighborhood. Many New Yorkers thought the divisions were insurmountable. Not Mike Bloomberg. He has brought this City together peacefully, as a steady, decisive, and caring leader.

"I am a proud Democrat, but labels are less important than doing the right thing. Giving Mike Bloomberg a second term is the right thing. His leadership has been critical in keeping us safe during the most dangerous of times, since 9/11. Terrorists have their sights set on New York, and Mayor Bloomberg has his sights set on terrorists.

"Mayor Bloomberg has shown incredible leadership with our quality of life, the quality of security, and the quality of his support. And of all of the mayor's opponents, no one has even come close to giving us a convincing reason to change captains mid course

I saw it between 44 and 45 but I assume its all over boro park

This whole campaign against the Mayor sounds like it's coming from one of his opponents.

1) No one is stopping any religious practices. YES if someone has a problem the Dept. of Health will try to stop that person from practicing that particular religious practice.

2) Regarding Rabbi Fisher until the Dept. of Health does not confirm that there is no problem they will stop him from performing Milah

I know of a big Chasideshe Mohel that does not do Mezizah Bepeh because he has a health issue. What I saw this mohel do was have someone else do Mezizah Bepeh.

I'm sure 1000% if Rabbi Fisher tells the Dept. of Health that this is what he will start doing until they confirm that he poses no risk they will allow him to perform Milah.

Shoemacher hit it on target.
I will explain on a later date why I'm saying that Shoemacher hit it on target and with proof.

Please explain yourself what you mean by אויב דאס אז דער דעה פון פעלדער.

I'm not saying that Rabbi Fisher has a problem Chas Veshalom, All what I'm saying that is there is ways that Rabbi Fisher could proof that he does not have any problems and that this is all made up.

Again I repaet that this issue is not against Mitzvah Milah as a whole Chas Veshalom.

DE KALB RESIDENTS SAY CITY PLAYS DIRTY WITH SIDEWALK-SWEEP TIX

By HASANI GITTENS
New York Post

August 8, 2005 -- A citywide sanitation law has residents of one tony Brooklyn street crying foul.
Emily Wasserman, of 151 De Kalb Ave., was shocked to find a pink violation ticket near her front door, charging her $100 for a "dirty sidewalk" a little more than a week ago.

When she received another Wednesday, she hit the roof.

On both occasions, she said, producing photos as confirmation, there were a few leaves and a couple of small slips of paper — the consequence of living on a major local thoroughfare.

Three other tidy houses on the block were also given two violations in little more than a week.

"I think it's just patently unfair, and it's a lot of money," said Wasserman. "Whoever knows me knows I take care of my sidewalk."

"But if he came out here right now, he'd write a ticket," she said of the agent whom she caught giving her the pink slip Wednesday.

"He told me that we are targeted daily between 8 and 9 a.m. and between 12 and 1 p.m. I said, 'We're working people. There's nobody here between 12 and 1!' " In other words, Wasserman could sweep her walk spotless at 9 in the morning and be held responsible three hours later — to the tune of $100 on up to $300 for repeat offenders.

Ironically, the two one-hour slots are the result of a compromise on a bill sponsored by Brooklyn Councilman Simcha Felder, intended to curb around-the-clock ticketing by overzealous sanitation agents.

"It's not fair," said Tamar Abraham, a Felder spokeswoman. "We are aware of the situation, and we are going to be trying to resolve it."

The Department of Sanitation contends that it is just enforcing rules. "It has to be obvious that the sidewalk has not been swept," said spokeswoman Kathy Dawkins.

Kosher Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver in A Chinatown eatery

It was a little odd that the conspicuously Kosher Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver should endorse Freddy Ferrer today in front of a Chinatown eatery that was plastered with little posters of shellfish trumpeting: "Try our Dungeness Crabs and Lobster."

Eating fish without scales is forbidden under Jewish dietary laws, so why did Silver, who lives nearby on the Lower East Side, pick a Mott Street trayf-merchant to hold his announcement?

One backer of Gifford Miller suggested murkily that Ferrer was trying to upstage the City Council speaker, who was going on a long-scheduled walking tour in the neighborhood.

But Ferrer's people said they merely wanted to pay tribute to a neighborhood "where the mayor's hostility and indifference are felt profoundly."

And because they wanted dumplings.

I think in previos posts I said the same thing.

This is an issue about Rabbi Fisher not about the Mitzvah itself and every other Mohel has no problem.
I understood that from your words itself.

You should know by contacting 311 some people are causing a CHILLUL HASHEM. be very carefull what you say.

Marist poll says Bloomberg could have won as Democrat


Had Republican New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg sought the Democratic nomination for mayor he would handily defeat all four of the candidates running in next week's Democratic primary, according to a just-released poll by the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion in Poughkeepsie. When registered Democrats are asked to choose a candidate for mayor, 42 percent would give their party's nod to Mayor Bloomberg.

Although former Bronx Borough President Fernando Ferrer still leads the field of Democratic candidates on the ballot for next week's primary, he hasn't gotten much closer to the 40 percent needed to avoid a run-off. Ferrer has the support of 32 percent of registered Democrats. His three competitors are closely matched for second place. Congressman Anthony Weiner receives 17 percent, and Council Speaker Gifford Miller has 15 percent. Manhattan Borough President C. Virginia Fields has slipped to 13 percent. Twenty-three percent of Democrats are undecided.

Among Democrats who are likely to vote on primary day, Fernando Ferrer receives 33 percent compared with 20 percent for Congressman Weiner, 17 percent for Council Speaker Miller, and 14 percent for Manhattan Borough President Fields. Sixteen percent of likely Democratic voters remain undecided.

In addition to the 23 percent of registered Democrats who are undecided about their choice in next week's primary for mayor, many Democrats who have made up their mind are not firmly committed to their candidate. Only 40 percent of registered Democrats who support a candidate say they are strongly committed to their choice compared with 54 percent who felt this way in the first week of September, 2001. Thirty percent say they somewhat support their choice, and 28 percent say they might vote differently on primary day. Two percent are unsure.

As the Democratic candidates enter the final stretch of the primary campaign, more Democratic voters feel the candidates have focused on the issues rather than on attacking one another. Forty-seven percent of registered Democrats say the candidates have spent more time discussing the issues compared with 36 percent of Democrats who feel they have spent more time attacking their opponents.

Regardless of the candidate they support, 76 percent of New York City Democrats believe Mayor Bloomberg will win re-election, according to the Marist poll.

I just a sign going up next to Gal Paz on 13th Avenue saying "Bloomberg for NYC"

Anyone know more information whats going to be Thursday on 13th Avenue and whats going to be in this office?

BenMelech!

I don't know what game you want to be part of, but let me give you 1 location that is in the process now.

37th Street from 12th Ave to 14th Ave.

There is another location that will be rezoned right after this one goes trough.

There is another location that is in the process but I can't say where it is, because there are some disputes on the lot.

If thats your goal I will give you some more info:

The area on 37th street is owned by the city, so you will have to get in touch with the city about this.

39th street area and 38th street is also on the table.

Coming now from 13th Avenue WOW you got to see it. No parking from 46 St. to 47 St. Security guys walking around as if the president is here. Kids with Ballons. This big bus driving around anouncing that the Mayor is coming to Boro Park (tape I think is nachum segal voice).

will try to be there tonight and report back about what went on.
