YADA YADA YADA THE VILLAGE'S I.D.E.A./D.E.I. COMMITTEE TAPES
%20idea.jpg)
Chatter--and largely thoughtful commentary--has arisen regarding the Village IDEA Committee tapes, obtained (?) pursuant to a FOIL request. You are encouraged to read two letters regarding the disturbing content of these tapes.
One of these is from Paul Steinberg and is on page 2 of this week's Gazette (Week of 10/15). Mr. Steinberg provides direct irrefutable quotes--in short, he has listened, so you don't have to.
The other is on page 5 from Jessica Dieckman, or you can read it here.
The blog has had a request for links to these tapes as there are actually people here who want to believe it is all some sort of "MAGA plot". The tapes are, however, easy enough to find....and in the words of the great Jack Marshall:
Res ipsa loquitur.
The Village attorney is allegedly reviewing it all. And we imagine quite a few others as well.

TRANSPARENCY/FOIL/OPEN MEETINGS ISSUEs----PAULIN PUSHES BILLS TO EXPAND BOTH TO GOVERNMENT-AFFILIATED NONPROFITS
Being intensely discussed on one of the New Rochelle pages:
...Local development corporations, or LDCs, are nonprofit entities frequently used by municipal and county governments to finance development projects, provide loans, support small businesses and undertake other public-purpose activities.
Although they perform functions associated with government and may use public resources, their nonprofit status can place them outside transparency requirements that ordinarily apply to government agencies.
According to Paulin’s office, the New York State Comptroller has warned that local governments sometimes use LDCs to circumvent transparency and public scrutiny requirements. MORE AT Amy Paulin Pushes Bills to Expand FOIL and Open Meetings Law to Government-Affiliated Nonprofits - Talk of the Sound
