Record the phone calls.

A case can be made for obstruction of justice and meddling with an ongoing investigation.

Ask the starter if he or she is aware the conversation is being recorded? Ask who directed the phone call?

Ask if the caller is aware they may be interfering with a formal investigation and that the caller may be subject to law enforcement?

Ask if the subject is an attorney or if an attorney is available to advise the caller to obey the law and lawful intent to perform investigations in a lawful manner?

Ask if the caller understands the constitutional requirement that Grand Jury proceedings are secret. Attempting to pierce the veil of security surrounding the grand Jury proceeding may be an obstruction of justice in itself.

Inform the caller, continuing the call could result in a referral to the department of justice agency.

Then leave the line open.

ad hominem attacks are among the weakest forms of resistance.

more facts: enrollment is up at charter schools in nyc, down in public schools. interesting!

so the test scores are better and the people with skin in the game prefer them.

but i'm sure that you, furious redditor with an unfalsifiable premise, are well positioned to call out these "lies" and "liars."

I remember the multiple surveys the MTA launched the past 1 to 2 years felt like they were pushing you to rank safety issues and the entire focus was safety, but for me it has never changed being about service and reliability. I don't care if every station has a cop in it, what I care about is waiting 12 minutes for an N or R train, or god forbid I need to travel on the weekends and waiting up to 20 minutes.

Demolition is not an option, NYSDOT (state DOT) owns the highway itself meaning NYC can't unilaterally decide to tear it down, close it, or reduce lanes. This study is basically a band aid to look at mitigation measures (like capping) while not addressing the vehicles on the highway itself, so I doubt any measures which significantly change conditions on the highway will be proposed.

I understand why this has to be done but the original timeline is insane, how does it take multiple years to basically pile up dirt? They built the Empire State Building in just over ONE year and it'll take 2 years to shovel fucking dirt and redo some lawns? This is why people get enraged, it's absolute insanity. This should be something they could finish in less than a year by starting in the autumn and do all the groundwork before freeze conditions. If you go in and tell people say goodbye to your park for literally 3 summers (we know it'll be delayed past 2025), of course they're gonna be upset
