CORD’S CHOICE of JOSH SKALLER for City Councilman in the 39th District

In Spring of 2009, CORD held a Public Forum, to introduce all 5 Democratic Candidates and 1 Green Party candidate to voters of the 39th Election District. The Forum was followed by individual and personal interviews given by a small committee from CORD. After much thought and consideration, CORD has chosen JOSH SKALLER to represent Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, Park Slope, Windsor Terrace, Kensington, and Boro Park as Councilman in the 39th District.

Although all Candidates presented somewhat worthwhile platforms, JOSH SKALLER
rose above the others in his honesty and determination to make positive changes in
existing local policies. His strength lies in the fact that he will not accept monies from
developers and lobbyists who overlook their responsibility to the character of each neighborhood. He understands the need for affordable housing and will
work toward accomplishing that goal.

Josh will aim to preserve small businesses that help make our communities so desirable. He believes that development on the Gowanus Canal should coincide with government clean up that allows for residents to enjoy living
in a safe and healthy environment. Josh advocates improvements in education with smaller class size, less teaching for a test, more teacher and parent involvement in educational planning and individual student needs. Josh’s goal as Councilman is to reform existing policies that allow tax breaks and corruption in local government, and to give voters a stronger voice in their own communities.

JOSH SKALLER IS OPEN, SINCERE, HONEST AND CARING. HE IS DETERMINED TO MAKE POSITIVE CHANGE HIS MANTRA.

JOSH SKALLER IS CORD’S CHOICE FOR COUNCIL IN 39TH DISTRICT.


If you want to see these changes happen, you can vote for JOSH SKALLER on
September 15th at your voting poll. If you would like to meet Josh in person (and he WILL! come and meet you in person) or if have any other questions, please visit:

Thank you.

CORD HISTORY:

With the "Protect Our Homes" petition, CORD was formed in May, 2007. This petition arose as an overwhelmingly negative response to the coming of the over-sized 360 Smith Street Development at the corner of Smith Street and Second Place (Aka Oliver House; aka 131 Second Place). This petition, which had well over three thousand signatures, led to a new zoning text amendment in summer of 2008.

To: Our Elected Officials, Community Leaders, The MTA:
(MAY, 2007)

We the undersigned Carroll Gardens homeowners and residents, are appalled by the "as of right" ruling which allows owners and developers to erect buildings in our neighborhood with no regard to the impact they will present to our quality of life and the value of our homes........
