A different topic but NY Times City Room blog has a lengthy piece on the removal of Steve Shane. It says DHCR Deputy Commissioner Leslie Torres may be the new RIOC president.

Funny how the writer had to squeeze in facts that do not relate to the issue at all. Why the mentioning of Shane's salary, for example?
Anyway, where is the transparency that the elected residents were so eager to achieve? Why does nobody speak up and say what the reason for Shane's termination was? I just cannot get my head around this. I hope these folks know that they were elected and hopefully will all be replaced by others who, hopefully, will not be as easily spoiled by the new-found power. Or will the current board make sure that there will be no more elections? That's in their power as well, isn't it?
I wonder why Shane is not saying anything about the reasons why he was let go. Does he know?
From your June 21st post on the Tram project: "Preliminary architectural design for station improvements continues. There will be a community presentation for reaction, comment and decisions about trade-offs."
It is now July 20th. Will this presentation truly take place with time to incorporate input from the community?
Amen to the second poster, I haven't looked at the NY Times blog yet, but will.
What transparency- there is Still None and these new Resident elected Board Members have gone power hungry-crazy..
I have lived in WV 28 years and Ms. Fay Christian mentioned that we should all be very worried about Westview without saying exactly why.
What Audacity and Arrogancy by all of them-the resident members that is, they must have forgotten who elected them, the Residents and for a very very long time we and Steve Shane fought to get them on the RIOC Board and look how the Resident Community was re-paid.
I want to know ASAP what the Hell is really going on with ALL the WIRE buildings not just the self appointed Rivercross RIOC resdient Board Members whom seem to think they run and own this Island- They Don't.
NYS controls their ground leases, too, just like Westview and Island House.
Shame!!!!!!!!!!!!!
