#3 I just went over to streetsblog and would you believe the editor read our comments and added to their map Shelly's killing the Jets Stadium at West Side Rail Yards - as something GOOD! Yeah, they claim Silver is responsible for no 2012 Olympics and no Stadium. Oh, what a pity. Silver stopped hundreds of millions in tax benefits to the uber-wealthy owners of the Jets. Forget that the Olympics would have cost us billions that would be better spent elsewhere, and that the Jets Stadium would create the WORST traffic jams ever witnessed in NYC! The WORST. And loads of pollution. This shows the complete hypocrisy and malignancy of the editors at streetsblog. Even one of the commenters mentioned the toxicity of the editor of that blog. Well, they can stay in Bklyn and we will laud Silver when he tramples their little chum, Newall, on Tuesday

The nerds at Streetsblog are so out of touch with the truth. The Canal Street mess has nothing to do with Silver. It has to due with the reversal of the Verrazano Bridge toll in S.I. which funnels the traffic from S.I. to Canal Street. That is a Federal Issue and the State has NO SAY whatsoever in it. Blame Schumer or Jerrold Nadler or Hillary. But you think the nerds at stretsblog who live mostly in Brooklyn let truth get in the way of their hateful propaganda? Note they omit to credit Silver with his greatest victory for NYers: killing the West Side Stadium that would have brought tens of thousands of cars into Manhattan on Jets games and for other events. If anyone from streetsblog is reading this, think of me on election day, when we sweep Shelly to victory, and think how I'll be laughing at your defeat.

What's Shelly doing? Basically fucking up anything he can, and draining every fucking penny out of it too.
