Luckily, there are term limits
To The Editor:
Re “Most pols blast new ruling on N.Y.U. project; Chin calls it a positive step; Mendez hedge” (news article, Oct. 23):
Your headline says it all: “…Chin calls it a positive step.” Chin doesn’t represent our community, though she may pretend to be our councilmember. Chin is the N.Y.U. representative on the City Council. She ignored Community Board 2’s rejection of N.Y.U.’s ULURP, allowed our residential community to be zoned commercial, and ignored the pleas of advocates to save the Sasaki Garden.
She didn’t even help us when we asked her to get the M5 bus back. Her pattern of decisions continually allows our community to be degraded.
Thank goodness for term limits. We look forward to a new councilmember for District 1 and N.Y.U.’s defeat in the courts.

Shedding some light

Re “Blue Moon Johnny; I wasn’t my brother’s keeper” (talking point, by Jerry Tallmer, Oct. 23):
John Tallmer was my father. He died forty years ago, age 50. I miss him. He was a good, dear man. He never spoke of his younger years. After reading this essay, I understand why.

Kept her sweetness

Re “Poet Anne Ardolino, a.k.a. Anntelope, dies at 69” (obituary, Oct. 16):
Anne was as sweet as her life was tough. From the day I met her in 1997, she treated me as if she’d known me her entire life. Funny, kind, eccentric and generous, she was a bastion of memories of New York as it once was.
