I received my second Friends of Mary Foster mailing and to be honest; what can be said of something that says nothing. The flier promised more information on the Democratic platform but give you nothing else. Lots of pictures of the candidates. Alot of blank spaces and some really nice pictures of a clock, but nothing else.
The Democratic platform so far?: To complete the work begun by the Republicans.
The method?: Placing a homeless shelter next to a $45 million office development and voting against and delaying any project that would be good for Peekskill. But only until they get into power. This is dangerous if only because it wastes time and puts off developers that may make a difference. Projects like the Riverbend, Target and the Waterfront Revitalization will make a difference in Peekskill, a big difference.
The Democrats by voting against and delaying these vital projects have shown that they cannot be trusted to finish these projects. These delays hurts us all. Its time to stop playing politics with our future.
