Though Brooklyn grabbed headlines when it was slammed by a rare tornado this month, Queens suffered far more damage in the freak Aug. 8 storm, an official report on the storm shows.In a letter sent last week to President Bush requesting federal disaster aid, Gov. Spitzer estimated that 1,359 homes in Queens suffered damage in the storm, compared with 189 in Brooklyn and 21 on Staten Island.
Storm-damaged Queens asks, what about us?
"The city needs to take responsibility," said City Councilwoman Melinda Katz (D-Queens), whose Forest Hills basement flooded. "The city sewers clearly couldn't take all the water."
Nice quote from the chair of the land use committee who promoted all the overbuilding that led to this disaster. Don't you love how she tries to make herself look sympathetic so that she'll escape scrutiny? Hey Mel: Your committee voted in favor of the Jamaica plan right after this, which includes areas hard-hit by flooding. The sewer systems will not be up to speed anytime soon, but you want hundreds of thousands more people moving in pronto. You're a real ass, Melinda.

Sorry Melinda.....
we're not buying your Crocodile tears
or your sympathetic sighs!
You're the slut that's been playing kissy-face
with with the developers all along.
You don't give a damn about your constituents
so long as those builder friends of yours
keep on filling up your campaign coffers!
Anyone who doubts me ......
please look up Katz's campaign contributions
which are available on line (NYC Board of Elections Campaign Finance Board)!
"The city needs to take responsibility," said City Councilwoman Melinda Katz (D-Queens), whose Forest Hills basement flooded. "The city sewers clearly couldn't take all the water."
When she says "the city" who is she referring to? Isn't she park of the "the city" that needs to take responsibility?
Maybe the only reason she is speaking out is because HER basement was flooded.
What a dumb bitch. (oh wait, I used the B word.. you know, one of those words our overworked city council sits around debating 'symbolically banning' between votes to overdevelop this town.
Too bad she didn't drown in her basement.
Water does seek its own level .
In this case it certainly did!
Enjoy scraping of the toxic black mold.... Melinda.
Pay-back's a bitch.....isn't it ?
There really is a G-d!
Don't you just love it......
raw sewage backed up into Katz's own litter box.
Phew!
Eau de pisseur!
Guess there will be no canoodling in Katz's litter box tonight...
I didn't vote for the queen of canoodling.....
but do you suppose that a dram of my piss wound up
in the sewage that backed up into Katz's cellar?
If so.....you may count it as a vote of no confidence !
