Would Frank Vederame approve of Josh Skaller's candidacy, the only City
Council Candidate who does NOT accept money from developers?
We think so.! Frank worked long and hard to protect the public plaza at the
Carroll Gardens Subway Station on Second Place from the
devlopment that is currently going on there for the Oliver House luxury condos.
At the Gowanus Lounge Blog, Bob Guskind wrote on 12/18/2008:
"...We had sat in awe
and listened to Mr. Verderame’s recollections that the public actually
owned the plaza rather than the developer. Of course, supporters of the
development disagreed, but we believed that Mr. Verderame was correct
and that the developer and the public officials who supported the
development knew that Mr. Verderame’s intimate knowledge was truly
correct." RG
