HLA Protest 2009 - Which brings the score Marine Park: 2 DOE: 0
Wow!
Unofficial word is spreading that the parents, teachers, and Marine Park community have won yet another battle with the Department of Education. The DOE has pulledthe idea of putting the New American Academy or any school in Marine Park IS 278 for the upcoming school year.
We are told, that persistent parent and community pressure as well as strong letters from Anthony Weiner, Marty Golden, Lew Fidler, Alan Maisel, was the tipping point for the decision, made by Chancellor Black.
As of right now there is nothing officially planned for the September school year, so stay tuned.
State Senator Marty Golden was inaugurated Thursday, about two months after defeating democratic challenger Mike DiSanto. It was his fifth time taking the oath of office as State Senator in New York.
Before a packed PS 228 David A Boody Golden vowed to get New Yorkers back to work and bring back financial common sense.
The Gerrittsen Beach Fire Department is going to have that $520 bill, paid by our elected officials.
The bill is going to be split three ways amongst Councilman Lew Fidler, Assemblyman Alan Maisel, and State Senator Marty Golden. However, at this time this same bill will come up next year if the city council does not exempt the Vollies from this tax. Paying this bill now is a short time fix.
As a long term fix, Councilman Fidler has introduced legislation to exempt the Vollies and similar organizations from this fee.
