Why would Toby propose this?

Toby Stavisky proposes a phrase translation pamphlet for English-speaking shoppers to use while in Flushing (instead of requiring adequate signage in English).

So in America, we're expected to accept non-English signage throughout an entire neighborhood, AND spend tax $$$$$ to produce and distribute pamphlets so that we may have some chance to understand another language? Moreover, how would such a translation pamphlet actually work, as the Asian symbols do not correspond at all to the Latin alphabet and a user of the pamphlet would not readily be able to locate "alphabetized" Asian symbols/phrases? Can Stavisky actually be this brain-dead?

Here is the article from the Queens Courier.

"At a meeting in January, Meng, Councilmember Peter Koo and State Senator Toby Stavisky proposed a shopper’s guide with translations of common phrases in Chinese, Korean and Hindi. The pamphlet was originally proposed by Stavisky’s late husband, former State Senator Leonard P. Stavisky."

Who cares what you think? Any leftover funds are going to the North Flushing Senior Center. When it comes to that center, the sky's the limit!



PS Hey FEDS! Try and catch me, bozos.

former nys senator leonard staviskey voted for nys regents members who advocated the forced busing of pupils out of their neighborhood schools ,in 1975.

the infamous N.A.A.C.P. vs .NYC Board of Education suit.

if they won,which they did not, all caucasian public school pupils from north queens would be forced bused to Cambria Hgt's Andrew Jackson H.S.

There was a pamphlet for shoppers published in the early 1980's. It was funded by the NYC Department of Business Services. It wasn't suggested by any of the Stavisky's at that time. Although it was a good idea at that time, it didn't work.

There is a NY State Law the requires the English language to be on all signs. Stavisky should stop trying to be a "latte Liberal" and enforce the law that is already on the books.

ATTENTION STAVISKY:

Enforce the law!!!!!

she's such an ass.

Babs said...

if this goes through - any pamphlets that we are handed out or mailed - mail BACK to Toby with a note in English - "thanks but no thanks" should be easy for her to understand - or "f.u." in HINDU would be perfect I think - says enough.

If Stavisky cannot easily understand the illogical reasoning behind her stupid translation guide suggestion, then she is definitely not qualified to be involved in any form of decision-making as our state senator.

Erik Baard said...

I'm a Flushing native and love the energy that each new wave of immigration brings, including my own grandparents. But it's a civic necessity to deliberately build a bridge when people arrive in such numbers that they form a viable self-contained subculture or entirely redefine a neighborhood. Yes, immigrants' kids and grandkids "Americanize" swiftly and Americans in turn absorb new ideas in as little as a generation. But older new immigrants and older longstanding residents shouldn't spend the balance of their years in bafflement.

The brochure is an attempt at a bridge, and I welcome it. But it's no substitute for in-store bilingual signs. Names of products and ingredients (absolutely -- allergies pose a real danger) must be posted. That should be the law.

Simple solution: don't patronize stores that don't post signs in English.

The Stavisky dynasty has been getting overseas laundered campaign contributions for years.

Toby doesn't want to offend the Asians by insisting their signage contain an English translation...or they won't give her any more yuan!

Not to worry...we hear the feds are on her tail for accepting Taiwanese money.

Bye, bye old hag!

I may be old but I'm not stupid!

The North Flushing Senior center looks like a big money laundry to me.

They rake in thousands and thousands of dollars but spend little, by comparison, on us in return.

Where does all the rest of that money gone to?

Interesting article. Twenty four years later and the corruption continues on a greater scale. Where's the justice? Does the DA have his head up his ass? Notice the Ackerman reference in the article as well.

"Mr. Stavisky's political and governmental activities are coming to light at a time the legislators' use of public funds and staff members for political purposes are under investigation by the Manhattan District Attorney."

What I don't get is why people insist that they feel excluded from stores because there are no signs in English, and want to FORCE the stores to post signs in English and will then somehow feel welcome.
It's like the bar being forced to post a sign about the dangers of alcohol. It doens't mean anything, it's just there for show because it's required.

I agree with everything you said - but the reality is that it appears that MANY (certainly not all) of the Asian immigrants do NOT want our patronage OTHERWISE they WOULD post signage in English.

SO in lieu of that - I stand by my original post AND add - I DO NOT WANT A FLYER IN BROKEN ENGLISH. Give THEM that in English with a translation instead.

You can't just continuously fine a business for breaking the law without there being some further consequence. If you repeatedly violate a stop work order, your permits get pulled. So in this case, DCA should pull their business license if they choose not to abide by the law. Picking and choosing which laws you will follow is not going to cut it. So, if they don't like NYS law on this subject, perhaps NJ is more where they should be.

Lets not forget Myra Baird Herce, of the Flushing Chamber, is also backing this pamplet. She for one should know it will never work.

RE: anon #7&#8,

my comment may be offensive to you, but the background of now T & E Stavisky"s huband, LEONARD STAVISKY is important to the citizens who were damaged by his "SOCIAL ENGINEERING policies in the 1960"s to late 70"s.
he was chairman of the senate education committee of the nys senate. a very powerful democrat party position.
forced busing to integrate the s.queens schools was a n.a.a.c.p. objective. the caucasian families either moved to nassau county or enrolled the children in parochial schools at great cost.

he and the queens democrat legislators all fell into lock step with his forced busing votes.

btw a. fleishman was president of C.S.B.25,at the time.
many present siblings, of these forced busing politicians of that era who are in jail or going to be, are now making your laws.

what do they say about history repeating itself ? if the citizens are not vigilant?

Do cars and ovens have multilingual signs? Yet they are more dangerous than voting machines. Somehow the immigrants have no problems using cars and ovens with English signage. But the pols create a racket to employ more cronies. And why do you need to translate a name? I can understand the job title, but the name? And these immigrants have no trouble reading English signs on the job or even the subway, so the idea that they need these signs to shop is a canard.
