From BoroPolitics:
The six Democrats running in a packed race for City Councilwoman Melinda Katz’s (D-Forest Hills) seat called for better health care and more schools in the district at a TimesLedger Newspapers debate last week during which the candidates also tackled the Cord Meyer rezoning, ethnic tensions and term limits in the run-up to the Sept. 15 primary.
District 29 candidates Heidi Harrison Chain, Albert Cohen, Michael Cohen, Mel Gagarin, Karen Koslowitz and Lynn Schulman gathered at the Flushing Library Friday for the one-hour debate held by Community Newspaper Group, the TimesLedger’s parent, which was mostly cordial and during which the candidates frequently agreed with one another.

Ms. Harrison-Chain is such a waste, she copies her opponents ideas, such as a 24 hotline, 7 day a week office hours, helping with affordable housing and all the other issues she hears them discuss at forums or meet & greets. This coming from a person that lives in a house worth over 2 million dollars, and is funding her own campaign as oppose to participating in the campaign finance program. She gave herself $70,000 in the last filing from her personal wealth, and it is clear that she has a lot of wealth they she could risk wasting in a election that she clearly cannot nor should win. This is a race that is clearly between Kosolwitz and Schulman, and everyone in District 29 should and I do believe understands that on Sept 16, 1 of the 2 of them will be addressed as Councilwoman. She has also received another $5,500 from her husband and son, not to mention the approximately $5,000 from the partners and co-workers of her husband at Deloitte & Touche [which incidentally does business with the City]. Do we really want someone representing us who is going to pretend at being civic minded, and make pretentious comments about her “good conscience” when she knows full well how her numbers are stacking up and that she is better off strategically not participating in the public matching funds program? Just ask anyone in any of the myriad number of groups that Ms Chain volunteers to chair; that is, if you can find a member not stupified by some mind-altering substance to control their individual personality disorder! Ms Chain has a history of twisting the law to suit her own needs, for example, wrangling around the term limits law with her third 'election' as Community Council President? How many other people that we need on our side will she alienate? Like all the police commanders she has alienated over the years with her loathsome demeanor and unusual behavior? How many other laws will she violate to achieve her own self-serving, self-centered needs? So sorry that Heidi didn’t get the PBA Police Union backing…I’m sure she’s calling Chief Pizzuti at this moment and kvetching about it, keeping her on the phone for endless hours about nonsense…all her work with the 112 Precinct down the drain! The PBA knows her true colors. Now let’s elect someone with some class and charisma! If you want real change and no stupid chiches, vote for the other candidate! Any other candidate!
In late July, Scott Stringer fired Lee Landor. She was then hired by Heidi Chain as a campaign staffer.
Last week, Heidi fired Landor because of her Obama gaffe back in July. This shows Heidi's ignorance of current news events.
If Cord Meyer was fixed in such a jiffy why are there so many McMansions? Anyone who thinks Katz sides with the community over developers has a screw loose!
HEIDI has so much talent. Heidi won the debate 110%++++
koslowitz and schulman are clearly not smart enough vs. HEIDI by the way i've researched on her she is a brillian lawyer.
RIGHT!!!! That's why she works for the city! No one else would put up with her!!! She failed out of the first law school she went to, you know...
