Election Day 2013

The only candidate, this year, that attended one of our meetings was Steve Matteo. Steve has been Councilman Jim Oddo's Chief Of Staff for many years and very helpful to our community. We wish him the best of luck today and in his future endeavors!

It is worth noting that his opponent, John Mancuso, was our guest speaker in March of 2012 when he was a candidate for State Assembly District 60.

Unbuilt Highway De-Mapping and Land Transfer

As unbelievable as it may sound, this is still a fight left unfinished. Ten years ago, the GCCA threw its support behind this effort.

In 2008, it resurfaced, but to no avail.

A few weeks ago, this Assembly bill, and this Senate bill, were introduced.

Along with the effort to save Pouch Camp, a victory here would forever preserve the landscape of Staten Island. We can only keep our hopes up.
