Steve Mayo: The American Constitution of Liberty - Envy of the World
Mayo contends that there is no basis for the assertions by Mayor Noam Bramson that the Gadsden Flag belongs to any private party or entity. The removal of the flag from the Armory is nothing more than the suppression of the First Amendment.
Steve Mayo is an attorney and businessman. He is the host of The Steve Mayo Show on WVOX. He was the Republican nominee for City Council District 6 in 2011.

This is a continued example of how this mayor and his band of rubber-stamp democrats are destroying the quality of life for long-time residents of downtown New Rochelle. Bramson wants to flood the North Avenue corridor with tons of residential development and he wants to do same for Main Street. Along with it comes the increase in noise, traffic, crime, the need for more parking, police and fire protection, and upgrades to the City's sewer and water lines. None of which this City seems to able to afford.
For the long-time residents of these areas who moved to New Rochelle for it's surburban qualities, that is being taken away by an uncaring, overzealous mayor. It is a classic example of NIMBY. Screw the residents these areas who have to endure the burden of higher taxes and a dimished standard of living, and cater to big developers who gain substantial profits. I would hope that the people of New Rochelle, particularly those in the east, south and west, wake up and realize that the are being screwed for the good of the mayor and HIS future.
