Dromm only let de Blasio supporters inside town hall

From Progress Queens:

Dozens of New Yorkers showed up to a town hall meeting held by Mayor Bill de Blasio (D-New York City) at Public School 69 on Thursday evening in Jackson Heights, Queens.

But these dozens were forced to stand inside a make-shift police pen outside P.S. 69, to wait to see if municipal employees could accommodate them inside.

At least five municipal staff paced outside P.S. 69 with iPads, like they do at Apple stores, checking people's names on a reservation list that would determine if the New Yorkers would be allowed to attend the town hall meeting.

Contrary to a previous report published by Progress Queens (subsequently corrected), the town hall meeting turned out not to be open to everybody. Attendees had to apply for a reservation with the office of Councilmember Daniel Dromm (D-Jackson Heights), who would then pre-approve attendees, in order to screen out any critics of the de Blasio administration. A request was made via e-mail by the publisher of Progress Queens to Councilmember Dromm, seeking a reservation. After that request was never answered, the publisher of Progress Queens carried a protest sign outside the site of the town hall, drawing attention to the restrictive policies in effect on town hall attendees.

When the publisher of Progress Queens explained that Mayor de Blasio was holding a town hall meeting at P.S. 69, many individuals complained that their children attended P.S. 69, but the school administration hadn't informed them about the mayor's town hall. Unfortunately, the publisher of Progress Queens had to explain to the disappointed parents that Councilmember Dromm had required an R.S.V.P. from town hall attendees, from which he would screen attendees based on the degree of their political support for Mayor de Blasio.

Joseph Goebbels would be proud!

There will be NO opposition voice...

That's what a Dictatorship Does, why is anyone surprised?

A reservation for a town hall meeting? Dromm is such a hypocrite.

The only opposition voice that there can ever be in a republic is the vote.
Considering that Queens' voters are among the dumbest on earth, there will be no opposition.
Vallone...Il Duce, for instance...has pulled the wool over the district's eyes and his pro-Vallone cheese heads think he's doing just fine.
Fine for who? Not me or you. Oh, yes, REBNY thinks he's doing great for them.
Elect a real estate industry lobbyist and get shafted.

I see that Comrade de Blasio and Comrade Dromm are doing very well, and are applying some of the techniques that we in the Marxist-Leninist world have perfected.

I am eagerly waiting to see when Comrade de Blasio applies my methods of purging generals!

Disgusting. I'm glad the Mayor will be a one termer. Dromm deserves the same, helping him pull a stunt like that.

Dromm steps on democracy to prop up de Blasio, and someone here brings up Vallone and REBNY.

Unreal.

Learn a new song already.

He is brought up because they are all cut from the same cloth. It's time the VOTERS got a new song already.

"Disgusting. I'm glad the Mayor will be a one termer"

Realize the stupidity of the average New York voter, and the fact that so many swine are feeding at the trough.

Do Not count your chickens, the Comrade may get another FOUR years at it...

Hey, has anyone heard about this on the local news last night. Not me. But of course they did manage to give us all the local and national sports news, the celebrity news and six weather reports per hour. Now don't you feel better? Aren't you all glad you vote for liberal/ progressive/ socialist democrats that promise us everything we will ever need? There is no need for our glorious leader to put up with the dirty opposition. Our glorious leader will take care of all of the needs of the sheeple. Remember, vote democrat again and again and keep NYC a one party town. Look at how good it is working out.

Well, you know we are treated like mushrooms, keep them in the dark and feed them plenty of manure.

You forgot to mention the Kardashians! Very important!

Unadulterated audacity. The Blaz is just flaunting it now. Dromm is a syncophantic pussy. There has got to be legislation drawn up to prevent astroturfing and discriminatory vetting of dissenters. Or doesn't the U.S. constitution work anymore or maybe it's too antiquated to enforce.

Certainly this stunt was a direct kick to the nuts to Flores, since this was done on what I think is his turf. But mostly it's stepping on the toes on the people who woke up and no longer believe him.

Big Bad Bill may be more corrupt than Mario's son.

Thanks for the comments, Kim Jung Un: I expect you'll be voicing the same standard, generic, fox news derived opinoins the next time a billionaire plutocrat jettisons protestors from lower manhattan.

We all know who Dromm sucks up to.

Dromm is just an angry non talented queen who's drunk with power.
This is a failed school teacher who is getting back at his Board of Ed critics who were anti gay.
"I'm the queen who is now King! Kneel and pay tribute, you fools"!

Hell hath no fury like an angry queen.
Dromm should put on some Billie Berk drag and be the grand marshalette of Jackson Heights pride parade.
That's all he's good for. Gay issues is this Johnny one note's only strength.

I think that it's time for a real good douche!

Then they should have marched upon Dromm's office with pitchforks and torches.
"Herr Frankenstein must go!"
Wimpy voters get what they deserve...unfit representatives.

Catch that vintage TV show on You Tube, "Queen For A Day".
Isn't'thisn't this Dromm's last term?
