People should not open their mouths and talk trash unless they are willing to pitch in and lend a hand or a dollar. Bette's devotion to New York, (and by New York I mean ALL of New York City) in the last ten years is unmatched. She is really dedicated to the cause of providing community gardens, parks, and educating young people, in places that have been ignored for too long. Everyone in her organization has the same drive and determination that she does. It's amazing to me that anyone would be critical of her consistent efforts, year after year, making New York greener and providing people with safe, clean environments to enjoy. She makes me proud to be an American, and sets a terrific example of what it really means to be a good citizen, leaving her environment in better condition than it was found in.

The parkway?

How about the Yankees finally replace Mullaley Park so that the neighborhood kids can have a place to play? Or better yet, how about they donate laptops and smartboards to South Bronx schools. No one cares about the dayum Deegan.

Right on Ms. M! It's less then petty cash for the entire Yankee empire -- and I'm a devoted Yankee fan.

Tell them there's free steroids in it for 'em. Guaranteed they'll go then.

Don't knock Bette at least she steps up to the plate.

She did this for a stretch of the US101 Ventura Fwy. near Laurel Canyon Bl. when she lived in LA.

Yankees step up to the plate!!!!
