Quinn Vallone Slush Koch Puppet

Beware the wrath of Christine Quinn : She is hitting Queens where it hurts : in the pocketbook of social safety net agencies.

City Council Speaker Christine Quinn is throwing a $600,000 temper tantrum that will cut directly into the quality of life of thousands of Queens residents — the Variety Boys and Girls Club, area little leagues, senior centers, and other nonprofit organizations will lose out — all because Councilman Peter Vallone, Jr., vocally opposed the renaming of the iconic Queensboro Bridge in honor of former Mayor Ed Koch. The name change was one of Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s pointless pet projects, you see, and in this matter as in many, Speaker Quinn is nothing but Mayor Bloomberg's puppet.

Join us on Sunday, October 23, 2011, at 2 pm, outside City Hall, for a protest to mark the third anniversary of the City Council vote that overturned term limits.
