Tuesday, SeptemberBrooklyn 17, Daily 2013 Eagle • Brooklyn • September Daily 17, Eagle 2013 • 30 eview and Comment ‘PostR Mortem’ for Candidate Anthony Weiner

By Raanan Geberer Brooklyn Daily Eagle In the aftermath of the recent Democratic mayoral primary, some (al- though not a lot) of attention was paid to the concession speech of for- mer Brooklyn-Queens Congressman Anthony Weiner. He maintained that he had the most innovative ideas of the campaign, but that he was an “im- perfect messenger.” Perhaps to prove this point, he was photographed “giv- ing the finger” to a reporter. The strange thing is that Weiner may have been right about his election platform. A look at his usually-ignored “Keys to the City” reveals some strik- ingly innovative, far-reaching ideas. Here are some of them: • A single-payer health plan for the uninsured in New York City. Consider this—several states, such as Vermont and Massachusetts, have their own health care plans. New York City has more people than the entire state of Vermont. • Push mold elimination requests to the front of maintenance requests for housing projects. Mold is as toxic today as lead paint was yesterday. • Conduct an air rights audit for New York City properties, such as schools and police stations. Taking advantage of unused air rights could add mil- lions to the city treasury. • Create a new Mitchell-Lama-type program to build housing for the middle class similar to the well-known program of the 1960s. Since Mayor Bloomberg took office, it seems that residential construction is done either for the well-to-do or for low-income people (the latter often proving a bo- nanza for politically connected non-profits). • Encourage the Housing Authority to buy energy-efficient lights, boilers and windows that will pay for themselves in energy costs and save untold amounts in repairs and day-to-day maintenance. • End arrests for small amounts of marijuana that take officers’ attention away from fighting serious crime. The main reason these laws are on the books is so that officers can show their superiors how many “collars” they made. • Give incentives for experienced teachers who choose to teach in low-in- come schools. Nowadays, most teachers who work in these schools are be- ginners who are waiting to get tenure so they can transfer out. • Eliminate city income taxes for New Yorkers who make $40,000 or less. This, Weiner said, will cost the city only “one half of one percent of the to- tal budget, while generating hundreds of dollars in savings for middle-class and struggling New Yorkers.” • Put cab stands for yellow cabs in every borough. This would make it easier for yellow cabs to find fares in the outer boroughs and would attract more of them to Brooklyn, the Bronx, etc. • Institute “lead time” for pedestrians at traffic lights, giving them a few seconds of walking time before cars start to move. This would be a godsend to seniors who can’t walk fast. • Give incentives to cab fleet owners who choose hybrid or other ener- gy-efficient cabs, rather than insisting that all cabbies drive the same vehi- cle (the “Taxi of Tomorrow”). • Give a bonus to families on food stamps who buy fresh fruits and vege- tables, rather than penalizing those who buy unhealthy foods. While some of these ideas may already be in Mr. de Blasio’s, Mr. Thomp- son’s or Mr. Lhota’s playbook, others are probably unique to Mr. Weiner. Just because Weiner’s personal behavior is suspect doesn’t mean his ideas aren’t worthwhile. If some of them are put into action, they, rather than the “Car- los Danger” scandal, should become Anthony Weiner’s most lasting legacy.

Tuesday, September 17, 2013 • Brooklyn Daily Eagle • 7 Summer Space a On Montague Street: Fun Next Week with Performances, Dog Show By Mary Frost Brooklyn Daily Eagle “We call this the ‘Big Mama,’ said chess instructor Asando Jones, holding a giant chess queen up over the heads of chess players hardly bigger than the queen. “But we don’t call the king the ‘Big Daddy,’ he continued. “We call him the ‘Big Lazy’ because the queen does all the work. Can somebody find the bishop? He’s sometimes known as ‘Sneaky Pete’ because he runs diago- nally.” Kids ran to find the chess pieces on the giant board set up on Mon- tague Street on Sunday during the first of two “Summer Space” events sponsored by the Montague Street Arts and crafts were provided by Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) and Etsy.

What did we learn from the last Storm of the Century that we can apply to the next one? Every time we turn around, there seems to be another Storm of the Century. So we’re spending over $1 billion over the next four years on storm-protection improvements. We’re building higher flood barriers. We’re investing in utility poles that can withstand 110 mph wind gusts. And we’re installing submersible electrical equipment in flood-prone areas. We’re also doing more to keep you informed during severe weather. Check our outage map, report a power problem, get a restoration estimate and find storm safety tips at conEd.com and follow us on Facebook or Twitter.
