Special Guest Liz Krueger
Since her election as Roosevelt Island’s state senator, Krueger has been active working on reforming RIOC’s board and operations. She’s prodded board chair RuthAnne Visnauskas to engage with residents, and she facilitated the appointment of reform-minded board members.
For the Thursday meeting, she will focus on getting Democrats elected in November. But her support of the Equal Rights Amendment on this year’s ballot will take center stage.

According to the club’s website…
On January 6th, 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt spoke of the four freedoms inherent to all mankind: Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Worship, Freedom from Want, and Freedom from Fear.
The Four Freedoms Democratic Club seeks to extend his vision into the 21st Century and is dedicated to providing an active, progressive Democratic organization in the 76th Assembly District of New York State.
Unequal Bargains
On June 18, the Roosevelt Island Operating Corporation’s Real Estate Development Advisory Committee gathered to discuss ground leases, the master retail lease, and the ten additional years being offered under the Island’s master lease. Howard L. Polivy, the committee’s chair, opened the meeting as a longtime host shows guests through a familiar house, pointing out the furniture as if it had never moved an inch.
