Senator Schumer’s visit to New Rochelle on behalf of Cappelli who wants to demolish the Post Office to build Le Count Square has raised concerns of residents. Mayor Bramson, who admits the proposed development will include demolition of the Post Office which is on the National Register of Historic Places, was questioned on his WVOX show this week about whether proper procedures were followed to allow tearing down of the building. Bramson has promised to verify his position that the proper procedures were followed and report the answer on his next WVOX broadcast which should be on Tuesday June 30.

This is disgusting …
This is disgusting … anybody have good ideas on what we can do to express our opposition to this?
There are procedures and
There are procedures and there are moral and ethical decisions. The Post Office building is not overly exciting from a Architectural perspective. I do not believe this is a sacred shrine. However the Murals do have great value. The proceedure that was most violated by Noam in the matter was when he convinced Senator Schumer to speak to the US Postal Service on behalf of Cappelli. Bramson could not threaten Eminent Domain towards the Federal Government although he did threaten to use Eminent Domain to every other lagging property owner when this steam roller got going years ago. So he threatend to use Chucky the eminent mouthpiece. The fact that the Senator who is the head of the Senate Ethics Committee threw out all ethics to try and influence the USPS or twist and arm or two was pretty interesting.
It had to go phone call from Noam to Nita and Nita to Chuck and them Mr. Ethics shows up on Sunday to rally support so Lou Cappelli can get a break on the cost of the purchasing the Post Office. You would think someone in the Justice Department would be sniffing this out? Nah this is the Democratic Machine at work…. And in the end of it all the City gets a large project that out of scale and a hug drain on services. Lets see them fix New Roc first. Lets see the benefit to our City from any of these white elephants before we strike up the concrete trucks on another.
