Wow. I really, really hope that Tish James is in trouble. When I think about the harm she has done to Brooklyn I want to cry. For all our sakes, I hope she is out of office a.s.a.p.!

I agree, 8:29. My fingers are crossed that Ms. James will be driven from office and be replaced by someone more competent to serve in the council.

Nice photo of Sunset Park!

the brooklyn paper is such a joke. no wonder gersh needs to pull stunts like this.

If you have never done so, Sunset Park on a warm spring day is worth a picnic.

I agree about Tish although I fear that those lining up for her spot are no better. Geoffrey Davis is a criminal.

I agree: Gersh is a fool and Brooklyn deserves better news coverage; Tish plays fast and loose and I won't be sorry to see her go; Sunset Park is a delight and worth a trip on a beautiful day, especially if combined with some of the excellent Latin or Chinese food nearby. I lack the expertise to weigh in on IBO's estimated job losses.

Tish is great. this retarded "story" is rumor, nothing more. get some responsible journalism sometime.

That park reminds me of Primrose Hill in London, great views. But its a shame the lawns look so shabby.

I loved the picture. Where in sunset park is this place?

Posted by: guest at May 21, 2008 10:04 AM

10:04: that's the park from which Sunset Park gets its name. Check it out, it's great - it's between 5th and 7th Avenues in the low 40s.

Gersh and Gawker are running neck and neck.

Kuntzman ruined what was once an interesting local paper - the amazing part is that with Blogs like this (and others) local news is infinitely more available than in the past - but rather than turning the paper into a more responsible source with real editorial discretion - Gersh turned the paper into a printed version of the dumbest/silliest Blog posts. He should re-title himself - Troll-in-chief.

I'd bet that readership is down and probably in today's day and age - will never recover - Shame

Kuntzman...HA. What a name.

Posted by: guest at May 21, 2008 10:15 AM

The "rumors" about Tish were so vague, stupid and unsubstancial they weren't worth the link. Someone on her staff may have been picked up for some unnamed offense, and she may be in trouble for some unstated reason, maybe, vaguely, because she won her seat from someone who maybe, kinda sorta seems shady, maybe, seems as if, kinda rumored to maybe have, blah, blah.

What a waste of cyber ink. That's not journalism, it's rumormongering of the worst sort, and only satisfies those who hate her anyway, and wastes her time, as she tries to defend herself by proving a negative. Shameful.

All of the people complaining about Councilperson James must not have kids in the local schools (which she does so much to support)

Posted by: guest at May 21, 2008 12:59 PM

Yea, and I'm sure that 50-60% of studens in those local schools are reading and figuring at grade level. Thanks, Tish! All of the time that you spend at DDDB and other anti-development rallies is paying off big time.
