Drive for veterans' cemetery dominates Harrison - Fossella forum

Harrison at Veterans forum in Staten Island
Drive for veterans' cemetery dominates forum This was a fairly low key forum that addressed some vets' issues. There was one contentious moment when an elderly gentleman asked Sen. Diane Savino about the Bush tax cuts that are benefitting the already rich C.E.O.'s. Savino tried her best to answer the question even though the question should have really been posed to Fossella. Harrison took the opportunity to dispell some of the distortions being peddled by the Fossella camp such as tax hikes for the middle class and two-way tolls at the bridge.

Harrison's idea of using the barren NASCAR land for the Veteran's cemetary was the only fresh idea of the night. Even if it had to be purchased for app $100 mil it would be in the same financial ballpark as Mt. Loretto. The great benefit is that the use of private land would free up the political quagmire of public land.
