NOW TONIGHT’S ERIC SEVEREID MOMENT PERSPECTIVE ‘26

THE SURPRISE:11 MILLION AFFORDABLE HOUSING SEED MONEY WITH ALL QUESTIONS NOT ANSWERED IS WHERE IS THE REST OF THE MONEY COMING FROM THE DEVELOPER? THE CITY?  THE STATE? THIS IS THE THIRD  AFFORDABLE HOUSING APARTMENT PROJECT OFFERED UP FOR THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.

THE 19 YEAR REBUILD OF WINBROOK CONTINUING AT A SNAIL’S PACE. THE CAPPELLI ORGANIZATION HAS BUILT MORE BUILDINGS IN THIS CITY THAN THE 5-BUILDING WINBROOK PROJECT. THE SELECTING OF THE

WHY BUILD 154 MORE AFFORDABLES HERE ON THIS STREET WHICH IS STILL MOSTLY WAREHOUSES. WHAT IS THE OVERALL VISION FOR THIS STREET IS THIS PART OF ANOTHER URBAN RENEWAL EFFORT

THE MEASLES ARE BACK IN NEW YORK STATE. VACCINES MUST BE SOUGHT OUT BECAUSE THIS IS REALLY BURDENING THE HEALTH SYSTEM AND WHO KNOWS WHAT COVID THEY HAVE?

THE OTHER SICKENING THING THIS WEEK IS THE APPALLING  SOPHIST  ARTICLES BLAMING  THE SEXUAL VIOLENCE OF LITTLE BOYS BEHAVING BADLY BEHAVIOR AWAY BY BLAMING THE WOMAN.

ATTACKING OF WOMEN HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 5,000 YEARS OF OUR TRIBAL EXISTEENCE. IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR DECADES. IT IS A TRADITION IN FRATERNITIES. LACK OF ACTION AND CODDLING OF THE COLLEGE PARTY CULTURE CONSISTENTLY SOFT ON  THESE OUTRAGES WHILE IMMATURE STUDENTS AT SUPPOSEDLY BEST UNIVERSITIES IN THE WHINE THE WOMAN CONSENTED.

THESE UNIVERSITIES CONSISTENTLY SOFT ON SEXUAL VIOLENCE  ARE NOT GREAT UNIVERSITIES AND THEY ARE NOT WELL MANAGED. THEY SADDLE STUDENTS WITH USURUS LOANS UNABLE TO PAY OFF. THEY ARE NOT VERY SECURE AND THEIR REACTIONS TO ACCUSATIONS OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE ASSUME THE ACCUSER DESERVED IT AND IS LYING. TYPICAL OF THE WAY SEXUAL ASSAULT ACCUSATIONS HAVE BEEN SWEPT UNDER THE RUG AND INVESTIGATIONS UNPROFESSIONAL AT BEST. HOW ABOUT A TOP 10 LIST OF PROCEDURES TO BRING A CHARGE OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE, RAPE OR WHATEVER.

HERE IS MY LIST THAT CAMPUS POLICE ANY SECURITY SERVICE AN INSTITUTION HIRES SHOULD HAVE. (i HAVE LONG ASSUMED SECURITY ON CAMPUS ALREADY DO.

1. VIOLENCE MUST BE REPORTED TO CAMPUS SECURITY WITHIN 24 HOURS (ALLOWING THE VICTIMIZED ABILITY TO COUNSELING AND A LAWYER WITHIN THE 24 HOURS.
2. CAMPUS SECURITY HAS TO BE EQUIPPED WITH A RAPE KIT AND THE VICTIM TESTED FOR EVIDENCE OF INTERCOURSE AND DNA OF THE ALLEGED ATTACKER AGAIN WITHIN 24 HOURS (THIS IS SO BASIC)
3. CAMPUS SECURITY MUST REQUIRE THE ACCUSED ATTACKER TO PROVIDE A DNA SAMPLE OR SAMPLES. IF THE ATTACKER REFUSES HE OR SHE MUST POST BAIL (A SUBSTIANTIAL AMOUNT)TO AVOID BEING CHARGED OR BE JAILED.
4. THE ATTACKER OR ATTACKERS MUST BE ROUNDED UP AND STATEMENTS FROM THE ATTACKER(s) NEED TO BE TAKEN.
5. THE NAMES OF THE ALLEGED ATTACKERS WILL BE RELEASED TO THE MEDIA.
6. PARENTS OF THE ATTACKER IF HE/SHE IS A STUDENT AND UNDER 21 WILL BE NOTIFIED.
7. PERSONS EMPLOYED BY THE INSTITUTION OF ANY KIND IF ACCUSED WILL BE SUSPENDED WITHOUT PAY UNTIL THE CHARGE IS DROPPED OR RUN ITS LEGAL COURSE. IF CONVICTED OF ASSAULT OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE THEY WILL BE TERMINATED, STRIPPED OF PENSION AND TENURE.
8. PERSONS ARRANGING ALLEGED SEXUAL VIOLENCE SCENARIOS WILL BE (IF STUDENTS OR FACULTY OR COLLEGE OFFICERS) WILL BE PROSECUTED BY THE UNIVERSITY TO THE FULLEST EXTEENT OF THE LAW, IF STUDENTS THEY WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY EXPELLED WITH NO REFUND OF TUITION.
9. THE UNIVERSITY WILL NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES PAY FOR LEGAL COUNSEL OR DEFEND FACULTY OR EMPLOYEES OF ADMINISTRATION IF THEY ARE ACCUSED OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE OR FELONIES AND SUCH INDIVIDUALS WILL BE IMMEDIATELY TERMINATED WITHOUT APPEAL.
10. THE INSTITUTION RESERVES THE RIGHT TO TERMINATE ANY EMPLOYEE REGARDLESS OF TENURE OR STATURE TO DISMISS SAID EMPLOYEE FOR PATERNS OF BEHAVIOR ENDANGERING OR CONTRIBUTING TO LURING STUDENTS INTO BEHAVIOR CONTRIBUTING TO COMPROMISING THEIR HEALTH, WELL-BEING AND MENTAL HEALTH, THIS WOULD INCLUDE FLIRTING OR ROMANCING. STUDENTS INITIATING ROMANTIC LIAISONS WITH UNIVERSITY EMPLOYEES WILL BE SUBJECT TO A WARNING OR SUSPENSION.

ON THE MATTER OF THE ELECTRIC SHUTTLE MENTIONED IN THE NEWS PORTION OF THIS PROGRAM.  JUDGING BY THE MANY ATTEMPTS TO HAVE GOVERNMENT TRANSIT OPERATIONS IMPROVE GETTING AROUND THE COUNTY AND WHITE PLAINS, THE NEW ELECTRIC SHUTTLE FOR BATTLE HILL, BY FAR THE CLOSEST NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE TRAIN STATION CANNOT BE THE ONLY BENEFACTOR OF THIS SHUTTLE.

THE SHUTTLE HAS TO BE PLANNED BY AN ORGANIZATION THAT CAN ANALYZE COSTS, ROUTES, TIMES. IT DESERVES PLANNING.

PLANNING IN WHITE PLAINS THE LAST 14 YEARS HAS BEEN BASED ON HOLDING MEETINGS AND LISTENING SESSIONS FROM PERSONS WHO TELL YOU WHAT THEY LIKE AND THE CITY DOES IT AND TWEAKS THE “LIKES” INTO PLANS THEY THINK ARE GOOD.

UNFORTUNATELY NONE OF THE PLANS CREATED  IN THE LAST 14 YEARS FOR TRAFFIC, DEVELOPMENT HAVE BEEN PLANNED WELL. THERE WAS I BELIEVE SOME  TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS SPENT ON A TRANSIT STUDY IN WHITE PLAINS. WE NEVER SAW THE RESULTS OF THAT.

COULD WE SEE A TRANSIT PLANNING INDIVIDUAL WHO CAN FIT THIS SHUTTLE TO THE CITY PROBLEMS OF UNCONTROLLED TRAFFIC JAYWALKING PEDESTRIANS, U-TURNS ON MAMARONECK AVENUE BE TAMED. I DOUBT IT.

PLANNING MY FRIENDS IS IMPORTANT. WHEN PLANNING IS POOR AND NOT ADEQUATELY MARKET RESEARCHED THE FINAL PROJECT DOES NOT ACHIEVE WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO ACHIEVE.

THIS IS JOHN BAILEY REPORTING FOR WHITE PLAINS WEEK….GOOD NIGHT AND THANK YOU
