Bloomberg, Rangel and Schumer Staffers in Controversy

Peekskill N.Y - On November 3^rd 2011, Fox News ran a national story about a New York town that has banned clapping at its city council meetings. The community activist that was featured in the Fox story, Darrell Davis, says the staff of some big name Democrats are involved in attacking poor people and people of color in the Westchester County small city of Peekskill NY. And the no clapping rule was just the latest of several actions they have orchestrated to gentrify Peekskill and then attack residents who fight against it.

According to Davis, who himself has been arrested for talking at council meetings, escorted out by police, and illegally banned from all Housing Authority property, Democrats are maliciously attacking a Housing Rights movement in Peekskill N.Y.  Specifically, residents and supporters of the Peekskill Housing Authority, where the Chairman of the Housing Authority Board, Ron Abad, is overseeing a massive eviction process of mostly minority tenants. Ironically, Abad is the Assistant Commissioner of Homeless services under New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg!

Abad was appointed by Peekskill Mayor Mary Foster, a Democrat. Darren Rigger, who works for Congressman Charlie Rangel, was elected to the Peekskill city council this past November the 8^th. He is the past Chairman of the Democratic Party. He was part of, Davis contends, the most racist political campaign in Peekskill’s history this year.

Mike Morey, also a past Democratic Party Chairman, worked on the Peekskill Democrat’s campaign this year and was tallying votes for them election night. He works as a regional coordinator for Senator Charles Schumer.

During the election campaign, the Democrats attacked Davis relentlessly and accused the Republicans of seeking his help to get elected. Davis wrote a scathing article for an online newspaper in response, accusing the Democrats of lying and making him out to be a local Willie Horton by trying to scare away white voters.

For the past two years residents of Public Housing and their allies and supporters have marched, picketed and spoke out at Peekskill City Council meetings against the mass evictions only to have the mayor- who appoints five of the seven housing board members- claim she can’t help them. Instead she has attacked their free speech and right to assemble. Both the Committee on Open Government and the ACLU have been critical of them in writing.

In response to poor people and people of color fighting the gentrification, the Democrats first removed the “citizens to be heard” segment from the beginning of the meeting. They would then make the public wait- sometimes for hours- as they conduct their business and then get up and walk out when it was the residents turn to speak.

Next the mayor bought in police, many dressed in swat gear, into the council chambers, threatening residents with arrest if they went over the allotted five minutes each citizen had to speak. As residents would ask the mayor and council questions, the mayor would just stare back and let the clock run out and then tell residents to “sit down, your time is up.”

Finally, as the movement grew and more citizens and civil rights groups came to the defense of the residents, the mayor and council voted to ban clapping under threat of arrest.

The Peekskill Democrats have allowed the laws to be broken and abused in this blind drive to gentrify. They are sabotaging Public Housing in Peekskill. Ironically, it was Congressman Rangel who introduced a bill to protect Public Housing Authority residents, and one of his own employees is a big part of attacking them in Westchester County.

“For Democrats to set themselves up as champions of the poor and people of color nationally and behave this way locally is hypocrisy and they need to be called on it,” Davis said.

Peekskill Bean Runner Cafe's Hypocritical Owners

Peekskill City Council Woman Drew Claxton and her boyfriend, Ted Bitter are the co-owners of the Bean Runner Cafe in Peekskill N.Y. The hypocrisy of the two reached amazing heights when Mr. Bitter showed up at a recent Peekskill Council Meeting for the sole purpose of attacking children.

As some of you know, for the past year and a half residents of Peekskill- Black, White and Latino- have joined forces with others who find racism despicable.  At first we took our grievances behind closed doors with the Democratic Party leaders, including Mayor Mary Foster. In fact, we did that twice before deciding we had to take our issues public.

The response by the city leaders was TOTAL disrespect, marginalizing us, denial, insults, attacks, rule changes, threats with police force and more. But a strange thing happened- our support swelled! Culminating with a hugely successful march for dignity on May 23 2011. That was the second time the city asked for mediation. We accepted and was met with character attacks at the  meeting by the city's representatives.  One of them was Drew Claxton. We broke off talks.

As a result of the community, more and more rejecting the Democratic Party, the Peekskill Dems had a hard time finding candidates to run this year. Two one- term incumbents decided they had enough, two replacements also dropped out in time. They got kicked off of the Independence Line for fraud. Of course ALL of this is the community's fault for standing up for Human Rights. How did the city respond? By cancelling, after 15 years,  Parks and Recreation bus service for the award winning and nationally recognized dance group Staj and the Stajettes! They retaliated against our children.

Myself, some parents and the girls dance group went to the last council meeting to object and point out that WE pay for everything and the city spent at best, $3,000 last year for transporting these girls. Ted Bitter, Bean Runner Cafe co-owner and spouse of Councilwoman Claxton shows up, screaming like a maniac and bringing the girls dance group to tears.

He basically said the council can't be racist because it is diverse and his white spouse, Claxton married a Black man. He also said he has a track program and when they need money-mind you, we didn't ask for money- he begs and harasses people at supermarkets.

He is ignorant to think that diversity means a lack of racism. Diversity usually brings MORE racism. I mean you have to have SOMEONE to discriminate against! He also doesn't understand that we are teaching these girls to be self sufficient. They raise ALL of their budget with art and bake sales- not begging. But we are also teaching them that self-respect means asking for your fair share of the resources just like every other group in town!

Bitter is a hypocrite and so is  Drew Claxton. They have the Bean Runner Cafe because she is politically connected and he exploits her white skin privilege. I hope people recognize the hypocrisy and the hurt to these children caused by Ted Bitter .

Spend your money elsewhere.

Peekskill Dems One Year Later, Silent as Blacks Abused

It's been a year since we went to our "friends" the Peekskill Democrats. They would not be in office if not for us. Instead of addressing the blatant racism in Peekskill Government and the abuses at the Housing Authority under Harold Phipps (who the mayor supports), they have attacked ALL of our rights to speak, have representation on the Housing Board and threatened us with arrest and/or eviction.

Take a look at   of me talking to the mayor and council. It is not totally wasted. The people sitting at home watching this are so disgusted with our treatment, we are getting more supporters everyday.

 

 

Mayor Foster and Housing Board's Shameful Failings

Asbury Park Press (Asbury Park, NJ)

December 11, 2003

Author: KATHY MATHESON/STAFF WRITER; STAFF

 

 

ASBURY PARK - A Housing Authority employee is suing the agency and its recently fired executive director, claiming she was sexually harassed and later demoted for reporting it.

 

The employee, Nancy Goldie of Tinton Falls, claims in a lawsuit filed in state Superior Court that Harold Phipps, authority executive director from January 2002 until last week, touched her inappropriately several times, left a note at her home with his phone number on it, and asked her to fax his Viagra prescription.

 

Goldie is seeking unspecified damages and court costs.

 

Phipps had not yet seen the lawsuit but said yesterday that "there's absolutely no truth in her allegations."

 

"It's a bogus suit from start to finish," he said. "It was all lies ... it's all nonsense."

 

Mark Tabakin, an attorney for the authority, said he is familiar with the accusations but also had not yet read the lawsuit. He said he would vigorously defend the agency.

 

"We don't believe that the authority has any culpability at all," he said.

 

Housing Authority Chairman Rudolph Pierre could not be reached for comment.

 

Goldie began working for the housing authority in March 1987. Shortly after Phipps was hired two years ago, he began "invading (her) personal space," according to the suit.

 

Goldie claims he kissed and hugged her without her consent, asked her out to lunch and generally created a "hostile and intimidating work environment."

 

When she brought the matter to the attention of authority commissioners in the spring of 2002, the suit says, Phipps violated the agency's confidentiality policy by publicly identifying Goldie as having lodged a complaint against him.

 

Goldie was placed on administrative leave for several months pending an investigation of her complaint, which the commissioners did not sustain, according to a letter sent by Tabakin to Phipps in November 2002.

 

However, Phipps was reprimanded in the letter for his public disclosure of Goldie's complaint, and he was forced to forfeit three vacation, personal or sick days, and was required to attend sensitivity training.

 

Goldie was allowed to return to work in January 2003, but the suit says she was demoted and transferred to a substandard work space.

 

Phipps was fired Dec. 4 by a majority vote of the authority commissioners in what was described as a clash over his management style.

 

That the suit was filed the following day was a "total coincidence," said Goldie's attorney, Lynda Lee of Spring Lake.

Success: Between Here and There

There is a place that people who want to be successful must go through. Of course "success" is relative. But if you want to grow, expand and achieve bigger goals or seek change, you must go through "there".  What is "there"? That space between where you are currently and where you want to be.

Many people have opened that door or stuck their toe in it only to pull back. They found that the stress, discomfort or uncertainty of progress is too much to bare. So they pull back and accept. They stay at their current level of achievement.

If you want to be successful, if you want growth, you MUST go into uncomfortable and uncharted waters. It is normal to feel challenged when striving. Otherwise, you are just staying in your comfort zone and going nowhere.

Peekskill Mayor, Meet Seth Godin

I don't know how much marketing genius Seth Godin will appreciate me highlighting one of his articles to point out the lunacy of a politician, but here we go.

Peekskill Mayor Mary Foster says that a person's past should have nothing to do with the decision to hire them. She is referring to Peekskill Housing Authority Director Harold Phipps. You may recall I wrote about Phipps' less than stellar past job performances.

Since arriving in Peekskill, Phipps has literally terrorized an award winning little girls dance group, illegally let himself into several women's apartments with his pass key. They have complained to Mayor Foster about this. He yells and screams at residents. He makes lewd remarks to females. He has threatened critics with arrest or eviction. And has attacked the rights of residents to organize. Peekskill Mayor Mary Foster says she supports him anyway. After all, it's only Black people complaining.

Turning back to Seth's post, in which he refers to people who don't think past performance is a good indicator of future performance, he says,"...I think it's worth pointing out that you're nuts."  Of course he didn't have Mary Foster in mind when he wrote that. But it sure fits.

Yes Mayor Foster, you are nuts to stand by this man. You knew his job history and STILL made public statements of support. And not ONE statement in support of the residents he manages. The residents who voted for you. Shame on you!
