We got to drive this home folks - if not you are going to drop the ball.

Flooding:

1. is caused by overdevelopment.

2. is just one problem of many from overdevelopment.

But, Queens Civis, like the Democratic Party electing a president, knows how to drop the ball and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Bad sewage maintenance?

I pay taxes, and this money seems to be available to be spent in big sums by city planning to help developers build build build.

I do not understand why it could not be used to clean my drains.

Please explain Mr Politican.
