Urgent Alert; Call Vallone's Campaign HQ; No to Air Rights

URGENT ALERT
-------------------------------------------------------------------

City Council Speaker Peter Vallone 
must hear from Clinton/Hell’s Kitchen residents today.
Not tomorrow, but TODAY!

City Council Speaker Peter Vallone is hearing from the wrong people, and they are telling him what
Clinton/Hell's Kitchen wants. Theater owner Gerald Schoenfeld (Shuberts), Ethan Geto (Broadway
Initiative) and Borough President Virginia Fields are telling Vallone that Clinton will be
satisfied with just the west side of 8th Avenue taken out of the proposal. But no one asked
Clinton! Vallone would not meet with Clinton residents opposed to the plan. More than that, he’s
taking campaign contributions money from Broadway theater owner Nederlander right before this
crucial vote!

Please get on the phone and call 718-433-1998 (Vallone campaign headquarters) and demand to speak
with someone about the Theater Subdistrict Zoning Proposal. If you have time and access to a fax
machine, write a short letter and fax it to them at 718-433-1999.

Don’t be dissuaded if they tell you the campaign headquarters is the wrong place to call. It’s
exactly the right place. Tell them that both sides of 8th Avenue are important, and that if left
unchecked, the east side could end up looking like Lexington Avenue and that that will impact on
Clinton. Without a Special Permit, there will be uncontrolled development on the east side of 8th
Avenue.

Tell Vallone’s people the Speaker must give wider room to the Council members to forge a better
solution than what’s on the table. Vallone needs to know the depth of opposition to the complete
plan, that the Broadway Initiative is bogus and that his stand will determine your vote for
Governor. The “deal” may be made by later today, so get your message to Vallone as soon as
possible.
