Councilman Lancman Misunderstands Public Safety in NYC
A rebuttal to Councilman Rory Lancman’s Daily News article: “How the NYPD distorted ‘broken windows’”

New York City could not have a more polarizing figure sit upon its doorstep than Rev. Al Sharpton coming from a glitzy, gated community in NJ. As “stalker in chief,” Sharpton pours his acid upon the busy streets of NYC and elsewhere in what used to be the safest big city in America. Sharpton’s history of tearing communities apart is now legendary across the nation, as residents are left to pick up the pieces, put out the flames and replenish inventories of stolen goods.
Letter to New York Republican Candidates, Staff and Party Leaders regarding Al Sharpton’s anti-police rally
This is an urgent message from Phil Orenstein, president of the Queens Village Republican Club, to all our gubernatorial, statewide and congressional Republican candidates, Councilmen, campaign staff, Chairman Cox and our GOP Party leadership.
Our number one concern is the safety and security of all New Yorkers. In that regard, I urge you to issue an urgent call for a state of emergency declaration regarding Al Sharpton’s anti-police rally in Staten Island this coming Saturday and insist that the protest be postponed until things calm down.
Ferguson, Missouri, the city under siege, has been exploding in violence that is out of control, and the same perpetrators, rabble rousers and agitators will be on hand in NYC Saturday to stir up trouble. There will likely be violence, rioting and looting in our city.
Cuomo is just an example of a larger symptom of a callous, self-serving class of New York politicians who abuse our political process. Cuomo is another example of an oath taken and an oath broken. Cuomo and others confirm what all voters deeply believe: “we can’t trust a one of them”.

Not long too ago George Pataki, a little-known resident and legislator of upstate New York took over the reins as Governor of the State of New York. He did so unassumingly, without great fanfare and with his integrity fully intact throughout. The Pataki administration brought many years of great progress and pride to New York and maintained our state’s renowned reputation as the powerhouse which is “The Empire State.”
