Assemblymember Kellner Offers Regular Roosevelt Island Office Hours


Assemblymember Micah Kellner will offer regular weekly Roosevelt Island office hours every Thursday starting on September 13, from 3PM - 7PM at RIOC's 591 Main Street office. Roosevelt Island 360 has more details here.
Kellner encourages Roosevelt Islanders to meet with him and or his staff to discuss your concerns and any problems that you think he can help with.
Assemblymen Kellner should be congratulated for providing such constituent service to Roosevelt Island. I would hope that his fellow elected officials follow his example as well.

I'm not a real political person (only voted once), but I'm glad to see Kellner and Lappin taking a real interest in the island. I think Shane has done a great job so far too.

Would anonymous please state EXACTLY what Shane has actually DONE not just talked about or taken credit for. I can't wait for this piece of fantasy.

One thing that Shane has done that I am aware of is that he has been available to answer questions and respond to issues of concern raised by myself and appears to be open to dialogue with the RI community in general. That in itself in a huge improvement from prior RIOC administrations.
Hawk, in your opinion what has RIOC, under Shane, not done that it should be doing and what are they taking unfair credit for.

Will his office be the new public potty ???

i jog the island a couple of times a week, and since steve shane got here, i've noticed that the seawall at the top of the island is finally getting repaired. plus the movies at southpoint park. plus someone admitting that it's not a good thing to have half of main street storefronts unoccupied. plus someone who seems to be willing to work with rira, related, becker, and anyone else who will approach him as a mature adult.

Now that we have some new public poop palaces, let's invite US Senator Larry Craig to the Island to put them to good use

To Roosevelt Islander and Dan Chen.
Re responding to issues;how? What's really CHANGED? How many town meetings has he had? How about NONE. The seawall delay was hung up in insurance disputes. The movies at southpoint were a regular thing except now there are two salaried RIOC employees and an otside company doing what two RI residents used to do for nothing. We'had responsible successful businesses from manhattan practically beg to come here and pay MARKET RATES to open a pizza place, a full scale restaurant and other businesses. Still nothing. And please don't start with starbucks dwayne read and nonnos. Those aere part of a standard deal with Hudson and Related. Wherever H&R build, these outfits get exclusive rights. Part of that deal is having to take the posible losers (like Starbucks here) in return for the sure winners else where. Let's just be sure before we hand out any awards that we know what we're talking about.
