Another rally of no consequence.
It doesn't matter how much everybody loves Whitestone. It matters that Walyo Vallone does not really represent you. He represents builders. The Vallone law firm lobbies for developers.

Do not expect a crooked councilman to champion this cause. Whenever he shows up at any public meeting all he seems to be able to do is paste on a shit eating grin, stroke his bald dome and offer compromises that mean nothing. Hey, you all voted for him. I certainly did not.

DO NOT VOTE FOR HIM AGAIN!

The point is that many people feel they are bad news and erode every neighborhood they touch.

The best thing you can do about Junior Chrome Dome is to belittle every statement he publicly makes about your community - for example, ask him when he raises an issue if Daddy's consulting firm is involved in same way, or if someone has made a donation to the Family in some fashion.

Work on church, his base. Spread ideas and suggestions. Hint at their record.

Make him history.

We should be very careful about taking Vallone at his word about anything.

He has been in office for less than 1.5 years and has already lied on numerous occasions, including taking "lulus", extra $$$ for being the head of a committee chair on the city council, which he swore he wouldn't as a candidate, flip-flopping on his position in two days on banning horse carriages, etc.

All of his BS has been covered in the Daily News, NY Post and other papers so this isn't just made up.

Finally, the Vallone family lobbying firm took over $200,000 when this property was being rezoned ten years ago. It wouldn't be surprising if they got involved again for big $$$.

Vallones statement was "quadrupling the original plan was absurd". Nothing about doubling it. Avella said 52, Braunstien is in agreement.
Vallones statement seems vague. Intentionally vague. Let's see if he shows up at rally and what he says.

Well, hell it always works in Astoria.

Vallone is in with a lot of "goombah" developers. The mob boys have their political mobster to watch their backs.
Remember....was it Joey "d'or" Franko of the Whitehouse Restaurant? Didn't the news media identify him as a Gambino friend?
When Vallone was a member of CB7, he voted for the huge Whitehouse catering hall expansion project.
Paulie smiles but carries a big knife....ready to slice up his own district. Of course, he gets a big share of the pizza for payment.

While Tony Avella was denouncing this project from day 1, Vallone was silent. My guess is that he had to check in with his developer buddies and promise them that though he would show outrage forthis proect to the public, he would let them continue to call the shots.

It's quadrupling because it went from 52 single-family houses to 203 units.

But hey, lucchese spaghetti vallone ciao roma italia sicilia parmesano, right?

So Tony denounced the project.
Press conference Avella , apparently , hasn't been able to stop it.

At least Tony spoke up .
Chrome dome Vallone was missing in action.
Or he was as inactive as usual?

Paulie has got to kiss the ring of the deveoper before he's allowed to say anything.
Vallone is just a thug....not even qualified to be a hard working "soldieri".

The Don is the developer.
