last week there was a screed in the herald by one of the obama fundation's shill cohort— the shyster shoked, who takes a dim-witted view of protecting our parks from private developers.

i wrote a note to the contributing writer quoting the shill shoked and got back a dim silence, so i'm glad today two of the litigators trying to get a just hearing and protect our park have a letter to the editor. countering the shyster's screed. 

money and power do what they want, unless the public stand up for themselves and their parks, and for the birds and the trees, the very ecosystem we need to live and breathe.

from the hyde park herald, may 5, 2021:

...the renewed claim remains very much alive...the renewed claim rests on the powerful ground  that the City can no more give away $200 million in public lands in the form of a fake 99-year "use" agreement for $10 thann a corporation can strip itself of its core assets for the same paltry sum. Shoked also ignores the naked delegation of authority to a private entity that transpired here to allow the transfer of the public trust property at issue, which not only supports the public trust violation but is itself legally unsound.

   Shoked does make one true statement in his one-sided screed. 

"You can't imagine a location that asked for more problems than this one."
