If you are a New Yorker I’m asking for your help. I'm an Upper West Sider working to fix some of the ridiculous voting problems we experienced during the Presidential election. I want to fight back against huge lines, jammed ballot scanners, chaotic poll sites and unqualified poll workers.

As an elected Democratic Party District Leader, I have joined with some of my closest colleagues to try and bring change to our voting procedures. On December 5th the New York City Council’s is holding a hearing to identify ways to reform how we vote. We are going to present this petition at that hearing and advocate for early voting, same-day voter registration, no excuse absentee ballots, and nonpartisan election administration.

If you weren’t happy with your voting experience then please take a minute to sign this petition: http://signon.org/...

Thanks!

I need a little support from the Kos crowd (especially those in New York City) who support affordable housing, green buildings, and responsible development. The organization BetterBuildingsNY is sponsoring a petition that is trying to improve a monstrous 3-million square foot development on the last piece of open space on the Upper West Side.

The lives of all New Yorkers will be permanently damaged if this development, called Riverside Center, goes forward as the developer Extell has planned. Riverside Center is five high-rise project slated to stretch from West 59th to West 61st Street between West End Avenue and the West Side Highway.

As Kathryn said, these early reports are unreliable, but these are numbers we just got from a major newsroom. Take with a grain of salt.
