I just returned and read Ms Goldman’s letter in the UC Review. Bravo Ms.
Goldman!
It appears that SHCA held the typical secret closed board meeting to plot the
“NON-OPPOSITION” position for their Penn masters. What a surprise, a closed
board meeting!
Certainly, the poor hard working volunteer experts of the SHCA leadership feel
uncomfortable because a few loudmouths in their midst shout down “community
improvement.” These SHCA clowns never stop!
Let’s ask Grossbach to view any non-opposition letter now, before it is
presented to the ZBA. We should expect a surprise submission by Penn
FOLLOWING the public testimony phase, just prior to ZBA approval of Campus Inn.
Since the Oct. 23, 2007 hearing of the architectural committee, the bold lies
from the Campus Inn team ALWAYS follow the public testimony at these
prearranged charades of public hearings, as will occur at ZBA. These pay to
play city agencies have the Penn team present their talking points first.
Then, members of the public have one chance, in 2-3 minute slots, to testify.
But then, the Penn team is always allowed to speak again and the public is
barred from correcting misinformation and bold lies. That is when the secret
non-opposition letter from the embattled SHCA will be submitted. The thing will
not be read publicly, but spun by the Penn lawyers as a letter actually
indicating community support!
It is exactly a year since the Oct 23rd architectural committee rejection of
Campus Inn. Without reposting the timeline of subsequent SHCA treachery and
betrayal of this community, remember that I immediately wrote to and copied to
this public list, a request to SHCA and Grossbach for clarification of the
testimony regarding the Olshin claims of a series of previous “open, public
forums” hosted by the SHCA zoning committee.
For four months until the zoning committee was cornered by an angry betrayed
community, Grossbach chose to ignore that simple request for clarification of
what appeared to be a bold and repeated lie. Again typical, but unfortunately
for SHCA most of the barking cheese gang is laying low, and my character was
not attacked continuously for those 4 months as SHCA might have expected.
SHCA had already been caught providing additional aid to the Penn team’s
repeated lies by attempting to cloak the Nov. 9th false public testimony about
an additional public forum scheduled the following week. That bold perjury
turned out to be the SHCA “election” meeting and not even SHCA members had been
informed that a Campus Inn show would occur-- an itsy bitsy mistake by the hard
working thankless volunteers!
In Feb., a FEW HOURS before the “unanimous” community rejection of the hotel,
at the only meeting which had become public and forced to an appropriate venue
only a few days prior; a forwarded post from Grossbach arrived on this list.
That post claimed that all of the perjury by the Penn team about overwhelming
community support and a series of open public forums was a simple unimportant
mistake that should be swept under the rug! An angry Grossbach repeated this
ridiculous suggestion that evening, in response to Mr. Moyer’s public exposure
of the perjury in public recorded testimony.
But why indignation after a four month delay before this untrue clarification?
Hahaha!
The SHCA continuous betrayal of this community, for a complete year, has been
thoroughly exposed! Experience and not prophesy tell me that the
non-opposition letter, which will remain secret, will convey the following.
The hotel opposition is crazy and has made the hard working SHCA volunteer
experts very uncomfortable. While the community experts really support
community improvement and the widely popular Campus Inn, the SHCA organization
has decided to officially take a non-opposition position for either side.
With no one from the public permitted to speak at this point in the ZBA
charade, the Penn attorneys will submit the letter and have a free pass to
portray the community non-opposition letter as actually support for Campus Inn.
Those in attendance will hear about the discomfort of hard working SHCA
volunteers and how a few crazy NIMBYS forced this letter. The SHCA statement
already foreshadows the justification for the official non-opposition position,
even though the community really supports Campus Inn.
ASK GROSSBACH FOR A PREVIEW OF ANY LETTER IMMEDIATELY SO THAT IT CAN BE POSTED
ON THIS PUBLIC LISTSERV! But please don’t hold your breath while he
ignores you.
Standing tall with Ms. Goldman,
Glenn
