Letter to the Editor (Times Ledger):Under the aegis of Community Board 7 Chairman Eugene Kelty and Vice Chairman Chuck Apelian, aided and abetted by the Bloomberg administration and Borough President Helen Marshall — all beholden to fat cat real estate moguls — downtown Flushing has become a tasteless architectural nightmare.
It came as no surprise that with regard to the proposed Willets Point project, CB 7’s handling of the city Uniform Land Use Review Procedure and its so-called “open public meeting” was in fact the antithesis of good government.
And now comes Apelian, who demands that Feinstein Iron Works place full-page advertisements in two newspapers apologizing for its initial complaints about the manner in which the Willets Point matter was handled by CB 7 (“Feinstein, CB 7 make amends after clashes,” Jan. 20-26). It was, in fact, mishandled and Feinstein was correct to complain and owes no apology.
Apelian’s demand for an unwarranted, self-serving statement is so absurd it does not even approach the level of being outrageous. Indeed, Apelian has now demonstrated that he is entitled to being inducted into the “Chutzpah Hall of Shame.”

Land use chair Very profitable "volunteer" position. Right chuck
"Follow the buck" Chuck probably gets a "finder's fee" for his part in selling out W.P. to Chen's China buddies (TDC) in creating "Wellington Pointe...an extension of the Floo-shing colony across the river.
YEH BEN!!!
The focus should be on CB 7s consistant abuse of power, not the racist perceptions. They have a total disregard for the community they represent and only care about the development owners as well as the business owners. Ask yourself this, all of the businesses that go in front of the board for variances, what do they have to pay to these people in some way shape or form to get approval? It amazes me that the entire board "shops" at all these "Variance" businessess, even when the board members live nowhere near any of the businesses. Connect the dots, cross the T's and dot your i's. This is what my father used to call "legalized Mafia"
Over two million people in Queens and all this sh*t is going on around you.
When people are misgoverned they riot all around the world and you watch Dancing with the Stars and stand on the spot directed when some hack wants a photo op.
Losers deserve what you get but the sucky thing is your attitudes spills over into everyone's life.
Yech Babs!
We have become a society content with complaceny, as long as we have our 100 plus cable channels and our flat screen TV's all is good with the world. Why bother gettin up doing something about it.
To think in Egypt a revolution started on Facebook, yet here we have to "discuss" and be "Civil" which is fine yet no one dares get up and out to discuss.

Our voices are ignored and when we speak we are told that we are aggressive and nasty. That is their way of shuting us up, enough of it, hold these people accountable, hold our elected officials accountable, ask for tangible proof, not just some shuffling of money to community groups as evidence of them doing what is right for the people they have sworn to represent.
apelian, kelty, royce, sweeney, vallone, along with presidents of some other Whitestone groups have made millions using shell real estate companies, and other tools, with CB power. Why is this still not out there?
There are several real estate holding firms who have these guys or their minor children listed as principles. Funny to anyone else?
DID ANYONE ELSE NOTICE THAT DENNIS RING, HALLORANS FORMER CHEIF OF STAFF WHO QUIETLY STEPPED DOWN TO TAKE A POSITION WITH MAIMONE FORCINEA, WAS WITH HALLORAN AT THE GRAND JURY HEARING? WHY? IS RING ACTING AS HALLORANS ATTORNEY? WHY WOULD HE BRING AN ATTORNEY IN THE FIRST PLACE? IS RING BACK WITH DAN? WHATS THE CONNECTION?

Good point! Who is Apelians business partner? where does Apelian originate from? Where is his business office?
Hey! Maybe Gene Kelty could put out my fire?!!?!!?! Heh Heh Heh
Hey Moby. His wife called. His hose ain't long enough!!!

Please patronize Gene and Chuck's butcher shop. Coming soon to downtown Flushing. NOBODY beats their meat!
There is an outcry in Egypt (and in Albany) for term limits. But at CB7, Kelty/Apelian a few years ago engineered a repeal of then-existing term limits. What would it take to re-instate term limts at CB7?
