After four hours of public debate, members of Community Board 1 finally voted 29-1 in support of the project. Nine members abstained, arguing that they wanted to table the issue and vote at a later date.
The board has no official say over whether the estimated $100 million mosque and community center gets built. But the panel's support, or lack of it, is considered important in influencing public opinion.
What the hell is wrong with you New Yorkers gubbermint types?!? Where's that Boston Red Sox fan who buried a Red Sox jersey under NY Stadium's home plate? Can we get him to bury a dead pig under the groundwork on the site?
(And why the hell isn't this a top story on the networks?)
