_
2
00:00:08,376 --> 00:00:10,059
How many times
in the last year
3
00:00:10,061 --> 00:00:11,977
has the City of Yonkersbeen in this courtroom
4
00:00:11,979 --> 00:00:14,313
at the brink of a crisisof its own making?
5
00:00:14,315 --> 00:00:16,816
Three? Four?
6
00:00:16,818 --> 00:00:19,702
This case was decided
over two years ago.
7
00:00:19,704 --> 00:00:21,987
This court issued its remedy
order 18 months ago.
8
00:00:21,989 --> 00:00:23,906
To vote in favor
of the overall remedy,
9
00:00:23,908 --> 00:00:27,209
as the Yonkers City Council
has finally managed to do,
10
00:00:27,211 --> 00:00:29,578
is insufficient.
11
00:00:29,580 --> 00:00:31,831
Yonkers must approve a plan
to build specific houses
12
00:00:31,833 --> 00:00:33,582
at specific locations. _
13
00:00:33,584 --> 00:00:36,836
If Yonkers officials continue
to ignore this court's order
14
00:00:36,838 --> 00:00:40,806
and by 4:30 Thursday do not approve
200 units of public housing
15
00:00:40,808 --> 00:00:42,675
to be built
at specific locations
16
00:00:42,677 --> 00:00:45,311
east of the Saw Mill
River Parkway,
17
00:00:45,313 --> 00:00:47,429
I will find the City of
Yonkers in contempt.
18
00:00:47,431 --> 00:00:50,149
In addition, I will
impose a daily fine,
19
00:00:50,151 --> 00:00:52,101
beginning at $100the first day
20
00:00:52,103 --> 00:00:54,019
and doubling every daythereafter
21
00:00:54,021 --> 00:00:56,055
until Yonkers is bankrupt.
22
00:00:56,057 --> 00:00:58,724
This is the moment
of truth, gentlemen.
23
00:00:58,726 --> 00:01:01,944
Your Honor, I'd like
to request a recess
24
00:01:01,946 --> 00:01:03,863
so I can confer
with my client.
25
00:01:03,865 --> 00:01:05,364
Well, it's approaching
lunchtime.
26
00:01:05,366 --> 00:01:07,583
Why don't we reconvene
at 2:00?
27
00:01:07,585 --> 00:01:09,869
Court stands in recess
until then.
28
00:01:09,871 --> 00:01:11,954
All rise.
29
00:01:19,714 --> 00:01:22,715
- You can see we've worked his last nerve.
- Yeah.
30
00:01:22,717 --> 00:01:25,134
We don't have
any slack here.
31
00:01:25,136 --> 00:01:28,304
- Gentlemen, enjoy your lunch.
- You, too.
32
00:01:30,024 --> 00:01:31,557
You know,
to hell with him.
33
00:01:31,559 --> 00:01:33,442
We appeal again.
We go to the Supreme Court.
34
00:01:33,444 --> 00:01:34,894
Win or lose,
we take our shot.
35
00:01:34,896 --> 00:01:36,362
Councilman Longo,
what the fuck?
36
00:01:36,364 --> 00:01:38,564
I know, but there's got
to be a way out of this.
37
00:01:38,566 --> 00:01:40,566
This goddamn judge, he's
shoving it so far up my ass,
38
00:01:40,568 --> 00:01:42,368
- I can feel it in my throat, Nick.
- Neil, he starts--
39
00:01:42,370 --> 00:01:43,986
he starts fining us
100 bucks
40
00:01:43,988 --> 00:01:46,238
and doubles it every day,
when do we start hurting?
41
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,874
The entire city operating budget
is just under 300 million.
42
00:01:48,876 --> 00:01:52,995
So working backwards,
we exceed that on...
43
00:01:56,250 --> 00:01:57,750
...day 22.
44
00:01:57,752 --> 00:01:59,752
Clear enough, guys?
45
00:01:59,754 --> 00:02:01,837
In three weeks, the City
of Yonkers goes bankrupt.
46
00:02:04,091 --> 00:02:05,391
Fuck.
47
00:02:12,984 --> 00:02:14,984
At last,
they see the light?
48
00:02:14,986 --> 00:02:17,603
Sand was breathing fire
in there.
49
00:02:17,605 --> 00:02:19,939
Now they're singed.
50
00:02:19,941 --> 00:02:21,991
Once they cross
the Triborough,
51
00:02:21,993 --> 00:02:23,742
a little north of the Bronx,
52
00:02:23,744 --> 00:02:25,444
this thing,
it becomes a lot less real.
53
00:02:25,446 --> 00:02:28,280
It's like a bad dream
to these guys,
54
00:02:28,282 --> 00:02:32,117
and they'll tell each other,
"It'll all be okay somehow."
55
00:02:32,119 --> 00:02:34,119
The good white folk
of Yonkers
56
00:02:34,121 --> 00:02:36,121
give 'em a slap
on the back and tell 'em,
57
00:02:36,123 --> 00:02:40,793
"You be courageous, stand up to
those blacks, those Jew lawyers,
58
00:02:40,795 --> 00:02:42,428
goddamn liberal judges."
59
00:02:42,430 --> 00:02:43,929
Ah.
60
00:02:43,931 --> 00:02:46,632
- What?
- Hey.
61
00:02:46,634 --> 00:02:50,519
I know, it just--
this case.
62
00:02:50,521 --> 00:02:53,188
I swear, every time I worry
I'm getting too cynical,
63
00:02:53,190 --> 00:02:56,141
I see I'm not even
keeping pace.
64
00:02:57,645 --> 00:02:59,445
What do you think
of the new mayor?
65
00:02:59,447 --> 00:03:00,729
- The kid?
- Yeah.
66
00:03:02,817 --> 00:03:05,451
- I'll meet you there.
- All right, okay.
67
00:03:05,453 --> 00:03:08,070
This is gonna eat him up.
68
00:03:36,317 --> 00:03:38,434
Ah, muchacho.
69
00:03:58,089 --> 00:04:01,457
One cookie each, please!
70
00:04:09,383 --> 00:04:11,717
Roberto, don't let them
ride in the street, please.
71
00:04:11,719 --> 00:04:13,385
Yes, Mom.
72
00:04:14,689 --> 00:04:17,890
Hey, guys, don't ride
in the street!
73
00:04:19,443 --> 00:04:22,061
Carmen, here they're all
in the street.
74
00:04:22,063 --> 00:04:23,812
I know, but if I pretend
to yell at them about that,
75
00:04:23,814 --> 00:04:25,564
they won't ride
on the avenida.
76
00:04:25,566 --> 00:04:28,484
Es verdad.
77
00:04:32,573 --> 00:04:35,457
I still don't understand why we can't
appeal the Second Circuit decision.
78
00:04:35,459 --> 00:04:38,043
You can. But you don't really
have a leg to stand on
79
00:04:38,045 --> 00:04:39,828
and there are no
constitutional grounds.
80
00:04:39,830 --> 00:04:42,081
- But we could appeal, technically.
- And lose.
81
00:04:42,083 --> 00:04:43,916
Maybe the full Circuitisn't as liberal
82
00:04:43,918 --> 00:04:45,751
as the three who handed
down this decision.
83
00:04:45,753 --> 00:04:49,054
- Maybe. - Judges Pratt and Miner
were Reagan appointees.
84
00:04:49,056 --> 00:04:50,222
We lost on the merits.
85
00:04:50,224 --> 00:04:51,890
Look, here and now,
you guys need to make
86
00:04:51,892 --> 00:04:54,009
a good faith effort
to comply with Sand.
87
00:04:54,011 --> 00:04:56,979
Come up with a plan you can
live with and stick to it.
88
00:04:56,981 --> 00:04:59,264
I think the judge is pretty much
wedded to the four School sites.
89
00:04:59,266 --> 00:05:02,568
You know, the School 30 site is right
behind my house over by Nevada Avenue.
90
00:05:02,570 --> 00:05:04,436
And I already got a site
in my district.
91
00:05:04,438 --> 00:05:05,437
Don't look at me.
92
00:05:05,439 --> 00:05:06,605
I already ate
the Walt Whitman School site.
93
00:05:06,607 --> 00:05:07,689
Yeah, you know what?
I got news for you.
94
00:05:07,691 --> 00:05:09,074
All right, we're gonna
lose Nevada Avenue
95
00:05:09,076 --> 00:05:10,576
or we got no deal.
96
00:05:10,578 --> 00:05:13,746
If I have to, I could live
with a small site, you know,
97
00:05:13,748 --> 00:05:15,948
down on Midland,
over by Sarah Lawrence,
98
00:05:15,950 --> 00:05:17,950
but not, you know,
in my backyard.
99
00:05:17,952 --> 00:05:22,004
You did not just--
100
00:05:22,006 --> 00:05:23,622
That is actually
my backyard.
101
00:05:23,624 --> 00:05:26,708
Look, this train's
left the station.
102
00:05:26,710 --> 00:05:29,128
We're your lawyers. We're just
trying to prevent a wreck.
103
00:05:29,130 --> 00:05:31,213
If we do it now,
early in the term,
104
00:05:31,215 --> 00:05:33,966
it'll get hot for a while, but it'll
cool down before the next election.
105
00:05:33,968 --> 00:05:36,135
Jesus, this is a bitch.
106
00:05:36,137 --> 00:05:39,471
Hey, it's what they pay us
the big bucks for, right?
107
00:05:42,276 --> 00:05:44,226
She said we could
stay here till the baby comes.
108
00:05:46,030 --> 00:05:48,781
She's cool with it.
You'll see.
109
00:05:48,783 --> 00:05:50,983
Never been over
this way before.
110
00:05:50,985 --> 00:05:54,653
Yeah, well, they built
Mulford a long time back.
111
00:05:54,655 --> 00:05:56,872
When they opened it,
it was all white people.
112
00:05:56,874 --> 00:06:00,209
When Gammy moved in, it was
still mostly white people.
113
00:06:00,211 --> 00:06:03,495
You know we're gonna need more
than one room when the baby comes.
114
00:06:03,497 --> 00:06:05,130
Look, we ain't gonna
be here forever.
115
00:06:08,669 --> 00:06:11,170
Now, what you doin'?
You ain't gonna help out?
116
00:06:11,172 --> 00:06:14,807
No, I like a man
carrying stuff for me.
117
00:06:14,809 --> 00:06:16,308
- You like this, huh?
- Yeah.
118
00:06:16,310 --> 00:06:17,726
Oh, okay.
119
00:06:17,728 --> 00:06:19,178
Check this out.
120
00:06:19,180 --> 00:06:21,180
Whoo!
121
00:06:21,182 --> 00:06:23,565
- Yeah, baby.
- Ooh, watch out.
122
00:06:24,518 --> 00:06:26,235
Damn, boy.
123
00:06:26,237 --> 00:06:27,769
- Whoo.
- Baby.
124
00:06:31,575 --> 00:06:33,692
You got it.
You like that?
125
00:06:33,694 --> 00:06:35,360
Good job, babe.
126
00:06:37,114 --> 00:06:39,615
Please be seated.
127
00:06:42,620 --> 00:06:44,536
- Mr. McAmis?
- Your Honor.
128
00:06:44,538 --> 00:06:47,923
The City of Yonkers understands
the gravity of the situation.
129
00:06:47,925 --> 00:06:49,791
After conferring
for the past four hours,
130
00:06:49,793 --> 00:06:51,210
the mayor
and council majority here
131
00:06:51,212 --> 00:06:53,545
have agreed to meet
in a special session tomorrow
132
00:06:53,547 --> 00:06:57,933
to approve a plan of 200 units of
public housing at specific sites.
133
00:06:57,935 --> 00:07:00,185
In addition, Your Honor,
Mayor Wasicsko,
134
00:07:00,187 --> 00:07:03,222
himself a member of the bar,
would like to address the court.
135
00:07:03,224 --> 00:07:05,858
Very well.
Mr. Mayor?
136
00:07:08,312 --> 00:07:10,395
Thank you, Your Honor.
137
00:07:10,397 --> 00:07:14,066
Um, Your Honor, a majority
of the Yonkers City Council
138
00:07:14,068 --> 00:07:16,235
supports making
the housing commitment
139
00:07:16,237 --> 00:07:18,403
and negotiating
a building plan,
140
00:07:18,405 --> 00:07:20,455
and I just
want to assure you
141
00:07:20,457 --> 00:07:23,075
that the city
will obey the law.
142
00:07:23,077 --> 00:07:26,078
Well, I appreciate that,
Mayor Wasicsko, I do.
143
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,581
But let me say this-- we have
been here before with Yonkers.
144
00:07:29,583 --> 00:07:31,416
Four years ago
and six years ago
145
00:07:31,418 --> 00:07:33,802
we came to the brink of a
settlement in this case
146
00:07:33,804 --> 00:07:36,004
before the City Council
balked at building
147
00:07:36,006 --> 00:07:37,890
even a single unitof low-income housing.
148
00:07:37,892 --> 00:07:41,059
In light of that, the council
must approve a housing plan
149
00:07:41,061 --> 00:07:43,395
that includes specific,
named site locations
150
00:07:43,397 --> 00:07:45,430
where the 200 units
will be built
151
00:07:45,432 --> 00:07:47,232
and a construction
timetable
152
00:07:47,234 --> 00:07:50,485
and do so by 10:00 AM
next Monday.
153
00:07:50,487 --> 00:07:51,820
Yes, Your Honor.
154
00:07:51,822 --> 00:07:53,772
Mr. McAmis, the
court will expect...
155
00:07:53,774 --> 00:07:55,490
Goddamn sellout.
156
00:07:55,492 --> 00:07:57,492
...immediately followingthe council vote.
157
00:07:57,494 --> 00:07:59,111
Yes, Your Honor.
158
00:07:59,113 --> 00:08:02,748
Yonkers officials agreed to comply
with the federal desegregation order
159
00:08:02,750 --> 00:08:05,500
after the judge threatened fines
that would bankrupt the city.
160
00:08:05,502 --> 00:08:07,419
We are making
these concessions
161
00:08:07,421 --> 00:08:11,540
in order to save the city from
enormous fines and contempt.
162
00:08:11,542 --> 00:08:12,624
But even opponents...
163
00:08:12,626 --> 00:08:14,042
They talking about
building those here?
164
00:08:14,044 --> 00:08:15,427
I think so.
165
00:08:15,429 --> 00:08:17,629
We were double-crossed by the
councilmen in there today.
166
00:08:17,631 --> 00:08:20,799
They promised people they
wouldn't give in and they folded.
167
00:08:20,801 --> 00:08:23,135
And city officials must
still identify specific sites...
168
00:08:23,137 --> 00:08:24,770
- Did you pick up--
- Shh, please.
169
00:08:24,772 --> 00:08:27,022
...for another deadlineset by the judge.
170
00:08:27,024 --> 00:08:29,224
I think we'll have a resolution
by Monday one way or the other.
171
00:08:29,226 --> 00:08:32,894
Now, there are some proposed sites
that are still on the table,
172
00:08:32,896 --> 00:08:35,030
but the ball is squarely
in the City of Yonkers' court.
173
00:08:36,650 --> 00:08:38,567
I'm Virginia Kim,
Cablevision News, Westchester.
174
00:08:38,569 --> 00:08:40,235
Chicken's overcooked
again, isn't it?
175
00:08:40,237 --> 00:08:41,903
Turning to
sports, the New York Knicks
176
00:08:41,905 --> 00:08:43,455
take on the ClevelandCavaliers tonight...
177
00:08:43,457 --> 00:08:44,990
Buddy?
178
00:08:44,992 --> 00:08:46,825
The Knicks have had big trouble
on the road this year...
179
00:08:46,827 --> 00:08:48,327
No, it's fine.
180
00:08:48,329 --> 00:08:50,879
It's real--
it's great, actually.
181
00:08:50,881 --> 00:08:54,383
So Martinelli
was right.
182
00:08:54,385 --> 00:08:56,385
About the housing?
183
00:08:56,387 --> 00:08:58,804
Yeah,
about the housing.
184
00:08:58,806 --> 00:09:01,673
He said we had to build
it, and guess what?
185
00:09:01,675 --> 00:09:04,009
We gotta build it.
186
00:09:04,011 --> 00:09:07,479
It's just an appeal
is a waste of money.
187
00:09:07,481 --> 00:09:10,682
I mean, there's no getting
around this goddamned judge.
188
00:09:10,684 --> 00:09:13,185
You didn't know all that
when you ran against him.
189
00:09:13,187 --> 00:09:15,854
Right?
190
00:09:18,409 --> 00:09:21,777
I don't know. Maybe I
didn't want to know.
191
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,417
You know what?
We can get past this.
192
00:09:28,419 --> 00:09:32,037
We can. I just got to, uh,
get everybody on board,
193
00:09:32,039 --> 00:09:36,675
convince the rest of the council
that the law is the law.
194
00:09:39,013 --> 00:09:42,714
I think you're gonna
be a great mayor.
195
00:09:42,716 --> 00:09:44,433
Yeah?
196
00:09:44,435 --> 00:09:46,635
I think so.
197
00:09:46,637 --> 00:09:49,054
♪ I just want to say ♪
198
00:09:49,056 --> 00:09:52,557
♪ this is my wayof telling you... ♪
199
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:53,892
You weren't there.
200
00:09:53,894 --> 00:09:55,110
You don't know how angrythis judge is.
201
00:09:55,112 --> 00:09:57,362
Oh, he's angry?
He ain't the only one.
202
00:09:57,364 --> 00:10:00,282
I'm for taking this to the Supreme
Court, appealing all the way.
203
00:10:00,284 --> 00:10:03,652
Councilman, we don't have a
chance before the Supreme Court.
204
00:10:03,654 --> 00:10:05,570
We need to offer them
a housing plan--
205
00:10:05,572 --> 00:10:07,372
A housing plan? Sure.
Here's my housing plan.
206
00:10:07,374 --> 00:10:09,291
No low-income housing.
207
00:10:09,293 --> 00:10:10,826
If they can afford
a house, great.
208
00:10:10,828 --> 00:10:12,577
- If not--
- We're past that, Hank.
209
00:10:12,579 --> 00:10:14,913
That argument was heard
and it lost.
210
00:10:14,915 --> 00:10:17,549
If we don't offer a plan,
the judge is gonna hold
211
00:10:17,551 --> 00:10:19,885
the city, all of us,in contempt.
212
00:10:19,887 --> 00:10:21,586
He can fine us,
jail us--
213
00:10:21,588 --> 00:10:24,139
This judge ain't the Pope.
We're talking due process here.
214
00:10:24,141 --> 00:10:27,759
All right, sit down, Hank. Let's agree
on something we can all support.
215
00:10:27,761 --> 00:10:29,311
I ain't supporting
nothing.
216
00:10:34,651 --> 00:10:35,901
He's not
supporting nothing?
217
00:10:35,903 --> 00:10:37,686
Oh, God.
218
00:10:37,688 --> 00:10:39,988
Well, as we've
been intimating,
219
00:10:39,990 --> 00:10:43,024
Mr. Spallone's just doubled the number
of housing units coming to his district.
220
00:10:43,026 --> 00:10:44,659
What a gaping asshole.
221
00:10:44,661 --> 00:10:46,828
Hank's gonna grandstand
the shit out of this.
222
00:10:46,830 --> 00:10:48,447
No, Daddy.
223
00:10:51,118 --> 00:10:53,452
No, no, she was here
this morning,
224
00:10:53,454 --> 00:10:55,620
but I think she
went to, um--
225
00:10:55,622 --> 00:10:57,956
she went to work
this afternoon.
226
00:10:57,958 --> 00:11:00,625
- Where?
- Work. I think she went to work, Daddy.
227
00:11:00,627 --> 00:11:02,461
- All right.
- Mm-hmm.
228
00:11:04,965 --> 00:11:06,798
If I see her,
I sure will.
229
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,300
All right, then.
230
00:11:08,302 --> 00:11:09,551
All right.
Love to Mama.
231
00:11:09,553 --> 00:11:11,636
All right.Love you.
232
00:11:12,806 --> 00:11:14,940
I don't like
lying to him.
233
00:11:14,942 --> 00:11:16,641
Hey, Skip.
234
00:11:16,643 --> 00:11:18,026
Hey, what's up?
235
00:11:21,031 --> 00:11:22,114
Breakout down.
236
00:11:22,116 --> 00:11:23,698
You making money
today, ain't ya?
237
00:11:23,700 --> 00:11:26,118
As long as the young'un
ain't fucked the count up.
238
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,203
Who?
239
00:11:28,205 --> 00:11:30,155
Dante.
Boy in the blue.
240
00:11:30,157 --> 00:11:32,624
- He been fucking up, huh?
- Every goddamn day.
241
00:11:37,297 --> 00:11:40,916
Oh, shit. 5-0 checking.
242
00:11:40,918 --> 00:11:42,968
They're hitting up
Frankie's crew.
243
00:11:42,970 --> 00:11:46,555
I said turn around!
Turn around!
244
00:11:46,557 --> 00:11:48,890
Yo, I'm paying this motherfucker
over here to be the lookout
245
00:11:48,892 --> 00:11:52,344
and he got his fucking hand in his
pocket rubbing his goddamned nuts.
246
00:11:52,346 --> 00:11:54,846
Shit.
247
00:11:57,100 --> 00:11:59,851
Yo, pick it up and go.
Casual.
248
00:12:03,407 --> 00:12:05,690
Ignorant motherfucker.
Pick it up.
249
00:12:07,744 --> 00:12:09,694
Pick my shit up.
Now.
250
00:12:13,867 --> 00:12:16,117
God damn!
What the--
251
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,041
Hey!
Hey, you, freeze!
252
00:12:23,043 --> 00:12:24,926
5-0 on you, Skip.
253
00:12:30,717 --> 00:12:32,551
Yo, yo, yo!
254
00:12:43,947 --> 00:12:46,615
Run back, tell my
sister to dial 911.
255
00:12:46,617 --> 00:12:47,899
No.
256
00:12:47,901 --> 00:12:49,568
You can't breathe!
257
00:12:49,570 --> 00:12:52,904
You call an ambo and the
police are gonna come with.
258
00:12:56,043 --> 00:12:57,709
Just let me be.
259
00:13:14,978 --> 00:13:17,062
There's my girl.
260
00:13:17,064 --> 00:13:18,480
Hey.
261
00:13:18,482 --> 00:13:20,732
Hey, how's
the Bronxville Bomber?
262
00:13:20,734 --> 00:13:22,817
- Huh?
- Oh.
263
00:13:22,819 --> 00:13:24,486
Thanks for coming out.
264
00:13:24,488 --> 00:13:26,488
You sounded
pretty down, Vinni.
265
00:13:26,490 --> 00:13:28,773
Oh, yeah.
I don't know.
266
00:13:28,775 --> 00:13:34,079
I just, uh--
I felt like I--
267
00:13:34,081 --> 00:13:36,281
I just needed
to talk to someone.
268
00:13:36,283 --> 00:13:37,916
Someone other
than myself.
269
00:13:37,918 --> 00:13:40,118
Hi.
270
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,121
- A Stoli and tonic with
a twist of lime, please. - Sure.
271
00:13:43,123 --> 00:13:45,290
- Another one of those?
- Uh, yeah. Just no lime.
272
00:13:45,292 --> 00:13:47,959
- Menus?
- No, thank you.
273
00:13:47,961 --> 00:13:50,545
- Uh...
- What's going on?
274
00:13:50,547 --> 00:13:53,965
I don't know.
I just, uh--
275
00:13:53,967 --> 00:13:57,802
I'm just feeling
a little lost.
276
00:13:57,804 --> 00:14:02,774
Adrift, maybe, just
being out so suddenly.
277
00:14:02,776 --> 00:14:06,444
Right. Well, you're working at
the photography shop, right?
278
00:14:06,446 --> 00:14:08,146
- Yeah.
- Family is...?
279
00:14:08,148 --> 00:14:10,065
Yeah, good.
You know.
280
00:14:10,067 --> 00:14:12,484
Yeah?
281
00:14:12,486 --> 00:14:13,985
It's different.
282
00:14:13,987 --> 00:14:17,656
It's like,
when you're out of office,
283
00:14:17,658 --> 00:14:21,626
it's like your candle
goes out, you know?
284
00:14:21,628 --> 00:14:25,664
And everyone just moves on
to the next candle.
285
00:14:25,666 --> 00:14:28,249
And, uh...
286
00:14:28,251 --> 00:14:30,051
people stop calling
287
00:14:30,053 --> 00:14:33,421
and reporters
stop trying to reach you
288
00:14:33,423 --> 00:14:36,174
and, uh...
289
00:14:36,176 --> 00:14:38,476
it's back to your life.
290
00:14:38,478 --> 00:14:40,345
Yeah.
291
00:14:40,347 --> 00:14:43,064
But you're reading the paper
and you're watching TV,
292
00:14:43,066 --> 00:14:45,984
- so you know what's going on.
- You know what?
293
00:14:45,986 --> 00:14:48,687
I think you might've been the
lucky one in this situation
294
00:14:48,689 --> 00:14:51,323
because this
housing shit...
295
00:14:51,325 --> 00:14:55,076
the judge,
Spallone, Longo...
296
00:14:55,078 --> 00:14:57,829
Oh, fuck Nick Longo.
He should get ass cancer.
297
00:14:57,831 --> 00:14:59,948
Shit.
298
00:14:59,950 --> 00:15:04,202
Well, I definitely would prefer
you in that seat than him,
299
00:15:04,204 --> 00:15:07,956
but what are you-- what are we gonna do?
They redistricted us.
300
00:15:07,958 --> 00:15:09,708
From 12 seats
down to six, you know?
301
00:15:09,710 --> 00:15:11,459
Some of us
were gonna fall.
302
00:15:11,461 --> 00:15:15,213
Yeah, but...
303
00:15:15,215 --> 00:15:17,349
it hurts to lose.
304
00:15:18,969 --> 00:15:20,719
You tell yourself
it's not personal, but...
305
00:15:20,721 --> 00:15:23,271
Right.
306
00:15:23,273 --> 00:15:24,689
- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.
307
00:15:24,691 --> 00:15:26,641
Thanks.
Ahem.
308
00:15:26,643 --> 00:15:28,610
Yeah, I know.
309
00:15:28,612 --> 00:15:30,195
I have my family,
310
00:15:30,197 --> 00:15:33,314
I have a phenomenal
relationship with my kids.
311
00:15:33,316 --> 00:15:35,700
I love them to death.
312
00:15:35,702 --> 00:15:40,038
But, uh, the whole timeI'm thinking,
313
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,241
"My God, there's a whole
part of my life
314
00:15:43,243 --> 00:15:46,077
that's not gonna
be there anymore."
315
00:15:46,079 --> 00:15:48,296
It's just politics,
Vinni.
316
00:15:48,298 --> 00:15:51,583
It's addictive
is what it is.
317
00:15:53,387 --> 00:15:55,053
Once you get that taste
in your mouth,
318
00:15:55,055 --> 00:15:57,005
I mean...
319
00:16:00,727 --> 00:16:03,061
I've, uh--
320
00:16:03,063 --> 00:16:06,431
I've even thought...
321
00:16:11,822 --> 00:16:15,824
You can think some pretty dark
shit when they make you walk away.
322
00:16:18,779 --> 00:16:21,329
You're all right.
323
00:16:23,583 --> 00:16:25,166
You're all right.
324
00:16:25,168 --> 00:16:29,087
Yeah, how's Nay?
Good?
325
00:16:29,089 --> 00:16:30,588
Stressed.
326
00:16:30,590 --> 00:16:31,840
Yeah, me, too.
327
00:16:31,842 --> 00:16:34,175
Oh, you know,
I miss the stress.
328
00:16:34,177 --> 00:16:36,678
- Yeah, well...
- Give me your stress.
329
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,880
I want the stress.
330
00:16:40,383 --> 00:16:42,183
All right, just get Nevada
Avenue off the goddamn list.
331
00:16:42,185 --> 00:16:43,551
All right?
That's all I'm asking.
332
00:16:43,553 --> 00:16:45,770
Well, look at the fucking
seminary, then.
333
00:16:45,772 --> 00:16:47,305
- St. Joseph's?
- Yes.
334
00:16:47,307 --> 00:16:49,474
What-- didn't we already object to
that in the earlier court filings?
335
00:16:49,476 --> 00:16:50,775
Yeah, well, that was then,
this is now.
336
00:16:50,777 --> 00:16:53,311
I could talk to the
cardinal about it.
337
00:16:53,313 --> 00:16:55,613
I'm on the boards of St. Patrick's
and Catholic Charities.
338
00:16:55,615 --> 00:16:57,816
- I see him enough.
- Wait, wait, wait. You really think?
339
00:16:57,818 --> 00:16:59,400
Look, let's just put it down
as tentative for now.
340
00:16:59,402 --> 00:17:01,236
- Fine.
- Judge, you'll talk to the cardinal?
341
00:17:01,238 --> 00:17:04,038
- Yes.
- Okay, well, that's one site down, maybe.
342
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,157
- That's a start.- Seven to go.
343
00:17:07,410 --> 00:17:10,507
_
344
00:17:20,340 --> 00:17:22,307
Oh, my God.
345
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,264
"You won't see
the next one."
346
00:17:29,266 --> 00:17:30,982
Oh, Jesus.
347
00:17:39,025 --> 00:17:40,859
Mine's bigger.
348
00:17:40,861 --> 00:17:43,411
Hey, you get yours yet?
349
00:17:43,413 --> 00:17:45,280
My bullet?
Yep.
350
00:17:45,282 --> 00:17:46,498
You see
that guy over there?
351
00:17:46,500 --> 00:17:48,032
That's your new
best friend, Nick.
352
00:17:48,034 --> 00:17:49,834
He's gonna follow you home
after the meeting,
353
00:17:49,836 --> 00:17:52,203
stay outside your house, and
follow you back to work tomorrow.
354
00:17:52,205 --> 00:17:54,923
- Round the clock.
- Well, I feel so special.
355
00:17:54,925 --> 00:17:57,091
You're not. The other
good-vote council members
356
00:17:57,093 --> 00:17:58,793
get police escorts, too.
357
00:17:58,795 --> 00:18:01,880
For everybody else, tomorrow
we put in metal detectors.
358
00:18:01,882 --> 00:18:04,549
All visitors start
signing in and out.
359
00:18:04,551 --> 00:18:07,519
Hey, this mayor thing?
When's the fun part start?
360
00:18:09,222 --> 00:18:10,805
Okay.
361
00:18:13,143 --> 00:18:15,933
- 260.
- 260?
362
00:18:15,934 --> 00:18:17,741
That much?
363
00:18:17,742 --> 00:18:21,607
25 each of these, 75.
364
00:18:21,608 --> 00:18:24,614
Plus 45,
365
00:18:24,615 --> 00:18:27,821
four of these for 15.60,
366
00:18:27,822 --> 00:18:28,822
and the chicken, 80.
367
00:18:28,823 --> 00:18:30,845
260.
368
00:18:30,846 --> 00:18:33,072
Okay.
369
00:18:37,751 --> 00:18:39,500
Leave this,
I'll pay for the rest.
370
00:18:39,502 --> 00:18:41,836
Okay.
371
00:18:46,364 --> 00:18:48,099
165.
372
00:18:52,399 --> 00:18:53,765
Maria.
373
00:18:56,269 --> 00:18:57,936
But I want candy.
374
00:18:57,938 --> 00:18:59,654
We have at home.
375
00:19:07,897 --> 00:19:11,115
And finally
the last site
376
00:19:11,117 --> 00:19:15,119
would be at Midland
and Theresa Avenues,
377
00:19:15,121 --> 00:19:18,823
making for a total of seven
agreed-upon sites, so--
378
00:19:18,825 --> 00:19:20,458
Cardinal's on the line,
Your Honor.
379
00:19:20,460 --> 00:19:22,543
Thank you.
380
00:19:27,167 --> 00:19:29,467
Your Eminence,
Judge Sand here.
381
00:19:29,469 --> 00:19:31,002
Good morning.
How are you?
382
00:19:31,004 --> 00:19:32,804
Just fine, Judge.
And you?
383
00:19:32,806 --> 00:19:36,007
Very good. I have here in chambers
lawyers for the City of Yonkers
384
00:19:36,009 --> 00:19:38,392
and from the Department
of Justice and the NAACP.
385
00:19:38,394 --> 00:19:41,229
I just want to make sure
we all understand each other.
386
00:19:41,231 --> 00:19:43,598
Certainly, Judge Sand.Go ahead.
387
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,900
The city's lawyers,
Judge Mulligan among them,
388
00:19:45,902 --> 00:19:48,436
tell me that the archdiocese
has agreed to let the city
389
00:19:48,438 --> 00:19:50,488
build 16 low-income
housing units
390
00:19:50,490 --> 00:19:53,608
at St. Joseph's Seminary
off Valentine Street.
391
00:19:53,610 --> 00:19:57,111
That's right. Bill and I have
talked about a sliver of the site
392
00:19:57,113 --> 00:20:00,331
for the housing and perhaps a
bit more for a playground.
393
00:20:00,333 --> 00:20:02,700
I see, Your Eminence.
If you have a problem
394
00:20:02,702 --> 00:20:05,036
with this proposal--
a political problem--
395
00:20:05,038 --> 00:20:09,373
Oh, no, no, I understand the
proposal and I'm prepared to do it.
396
00:20:09,375 --> 00:20:10,791
It's a help to the poor
397
00:20:10,793 --> 00:20:13,261
and consistent with the
mission of the archdiocese.
398
00:20:13,263 --> 00:20:15,012
Once everything'sfinalized on your end,
399
00:20:15,014 --> 00:20:17,431
let us know and we'llrelease a statement.
400
00:20:17,433 --> 00:20:19,550
Will do, Your Eminence.
Thank you.
401
00:20:19,552 --> 00:20:21,385
- Not at all.
- We'll be in touch.
402
00:20:23,723 --> 00:20:25,189
Done.
403
00:20:27,060 --> 00:20:30,361
Wait, which one did
you say was Hobart again?
404
00:20:30,363 --> 00:20:35,199
Uh, 3F.
Right there.
405
00:20:37,120 --> 00:20:40,321
Yeah, that one.
406
00:20:40,323 --> 00:20:42,373
- Now, there.
- Yeah.
407
00:20:42,375 --> 00:20:46,410
That way I'll be able to tell
when you're not here to help me.
408
00:20:46,412 --> 00:20:48,880
Yeah, I got practice
Tuesday at the rec.
409
00:20:48,882 --> 00:20:52,250
You know, I could miss it, but that'd
mean I'd have to quit the team.
410
00:20:52,252 --> 00:20:53,668
No, no, no, no.
411
00:20:53,670 --> 00:20:55,386
I'll make do
on Tuesday.
412
00:20:55,388 --> 00:20:57,255
All right.
413
00:20:57,257 --> 00:20:59,507
Can you wait on me?
414
00:21:01,644 --> 00:21:04,762
Jesus Christ, did you
read this quote from Fagan?
415
00:21:04,764 --> 00:21:06,097
About the judge?
416
00:21:07,934 --> 00:21:10,518
If I knew you'd
be so little help,
417
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,854
I would never have agreed
to move in with you.
418
00:21:13,856 --> 00:21:16,357
I put the bed together.
419
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,159
What else do you and me
need in a new apartment?
420
00:21:19,746 --> 00:21:22,697
If my father heard you talk
like that, he'd kill you twice.
421
00:21:24,284 --> 00:21:26,284
Yeah, he's already
mad at me,
422
00:21:26,286 --> 00:21:28,502
moving in with a guy
and no ring on my finger.
423
00:21:28,504 --> 00:21:30,922
Ah, I'll win him over
like any other constituent.
424
00:21:30,924 --> 00:21:32,206
You'll see.
425
00:21:32,208 --> 00:21:34,625
♪ now, some may want to die,young man... ♪
426
00:21:34,627 --> 00:21:37,628
You should come to bed.
Tomorrow's gonna be a long day.
427
00:21:40,633 --> 00:21:43,467
Tomorrow
is gonna be hell.
428
00:21:43,469 --> 00:21:48,389
♪ hey, buddy,that ain't me... ♪
429
00:21:48,391 --> 00:21:51,392
That's-- that's--
430
00:21:51,394 --> 00:21:55,613
that's the only plan
that makes sense for the city.
431
00:21:55,615 --> 00:21:59,033
Thank you, Councilman.
Mr. Spallone?
432
00:21:59,035 --> 00:22:01,986
You know, I'm not like these
wimps who are kowtowing
433
00:22:01,988 --> 00:22:04,488
to some judge who's off
the friggin' wall.
434
00:22:06,242 --> 00:22:09,660
I'm not wearing Pampers.
435
00:22:09,662 --> 00:22:12,496
I swore an allegiance
to you, the voters,
436
00:22:12,498 --> 00:22:15,049
and I'm gonna keep that
allegiance to you,
437
00:22:15,051 --> 00:22:17,635
and I got a message
for Judge Sands.
438
00:22:17,637 --> 00:22:20,137
Nuts to Judge Sands.
439
00:22:20,139 --> 00:22:21,672
You wanna take me away?
440
00:22:21,674 --> 00:22:24,976
Come get me!
441
00:22:24,978 --> 00:22:28,095
Great, we're one wing nut
away from a riot.
442
00:22:28,097 --> 00:22:32,483
Tell me about it. They confiscated
four guns at the door.
443
00:22:32,485 --> 00:22:34,852
I wonder which one of these
bastards sent the bullets.
444
00:22:37,740 --> 00:22:42,493
Uh, we're here to take testimony
from the citizens of Yonkers...
445
00:22:44,364 --> 00:22:46,998
...regarding
the housing site plan.
446
00:22:48,534 --> 00:22:51,202
Those who have signed up
and wish to make a statement
447
00:22:51,204 --> 00:22:55,122
may proceed to the podium
in the proper order.
448
00:22:55,124 --> 00:22:58,459
What I'd like to know is whatever
happened to majority rule, huh?
449
00:22:58,461 --> 00:23:01,212
- Yeah!
- Isn't this still America?
450
00:23:01,214 --> 00:23:05,800
- Yeah!
- A bunch of wimps is what you all are!
451
00:23:05,802 --> 00:23:08,052
It's about these
public housing people
452
00:23:08,054 --> 00:23:12,056
bringing drugs and crimeinto our neighborhood
453
00:23:12,058 --> 00:23:16,027
and ruining
our property values!
454
00:23:16,029 --> 00:23:18,229
- You promised us an appeal!
- Yes!
455
00:23:18,231 --> 00:23:20,147
You promised
you wouldn't settle!
456
00:23:20,149 --> 00:23:24,285
You have succeeded in raping
the voters of their city!
457
00:23:26,906 --> 00:23:29,573
You people campaigned
on this issue.
458
00:23:29,575 --> 00:23:32,710
I knocked on doors
for you, Nick Longo.
459
00:23:32,712 --> 00:23:37,298
And you, Ed Fagan, you
said, "I will go to jail."
460
00:23:37,300 --> 00:23:39,750
You're not evena man of your word.
461
00:23:39,752 --> 00:23:41,085
You know,we're gonna find out.
462
00:23:41,087 --> 00:23:44,255
We're gonna find out
what deal was done
463
00:23:44,257 --> 00:23:47,391
and I think you're gonna regret
the day you went into politics.
464
00:23:47,393 --> 00:23:52,063
So enjoy the next
two years on the council!
465
00:23:52,065 --> 00:23:54,765
They're your last
two years!
466
00:23:54,767 --> 00:23:55,900
Shame on you!
467
00:23:55,902 --> 00:23:57,518
You should be ashamedof yourselves!
468
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,437
I'd like to remind
the speakers
469
00:23:59,439 --> 00:24:01,439
to be respectful
of the people up here.
470
00:24:01,441 --> 00:24:05,276
Where's our respect?
No more lies!
471
00:24:05,278 --> 00:24:09,029
No more lies!
No more lies!
472
00:24:09,031 --> 00:24:12,116
No more lies! No more lies!
473
00:24:12,118 --> 00:24:14,335
No more lies!
474
00:24:14,337 --> 00:24:17,788
Yet officials say approval of
eight East Yonkers housing sites
475
00:24:17,790 --> 00:24:19,790
by the council
is inevitable
476
00:24:19,792 --> 00:24:22,927
despite the near unanimous
objections of Yonkers residents,
477
00:24:22,929 --> 00:24:26,464
hundreds of whom turned out tonight
to register their displeasure.
478
00:24:26,466 --> 00:24:28,432
They're really
gonna build them.
479
00:24:28,434 --> 00:24:32,219
Yeah, the paper said that the Loring
and Clark site is still on the list.
480
00:24:32,221 --> 00:24:34,021
And that's just a couple
of blocks from us.
481
00:24:34,023 --> 00:24:37,525
I mean, these people.
482
00:24:37,527 --> 00:24:40,311
They don't live
the way we do.
483
00:24:40,313 --> 00:24:43,481
They don't want
what we want.
484
00:24:43,483 --> 00:24:46,233
And their
neighborhoods...
485
00:24:46,235 --> 00:24:48,152
Yeah, a mess.
486
00:24:48,154 --> 00:24:50,988
Buddy, that's the last damn
meeting I'm going to miss.
487
00:24:50,990 --> 00:24:53,824
You mark my words.
488
00:24:53,826 --> 00:24:57,411
Majority rules in America,
but it can't rule contrary to law!
489
00:25:02,752 --> 00:25:05,920
Mr. Clerk,
roll call this vote.
490
00:25:07,340 --> 00:25:09,640
Mayor Wasicsko?
491
00:25:09,642 --> 00:25:11,509
Yes.
492
00:25:11,511 --> 00:25:13,227
Vice Mayor Spallone.
493
00:25:13,229 --> 00:25:14,979
No.
494
00:25:14,981 --> 00:25:17,648
- Majority Leader Cola?- Yes.
495
00:25:17,650 --> 00:25:21,569
- Minority Leader Longo?
- Yes.
496
00:25:21,571 --> 00:25:24,104
- Council Member Fagan?
- Yes.
497
00:25:24,106 --> 00:25:26,357
Mr. Chema?
498
00:25:28,027 --> 00:25:30,694
Mr. Chema?
499
00:25:33,249 --> 00:25:36,584
- Mr. Oxman?
- Yes.
500
00:25:36,586 --> 00:25:39,370
I have five
ayes, two nays.
501
00:25:39,372 --> 00:25:40,337
The measure passes!
502
00:25:40,339 --> 00:25:42,373
Hey, please.
503
00:25:42,375 --> 00:25:43,624
What a waste of time.
504
00:25:43,626 --> 00:25:46,760
Sold us out! Sold us out!
505
00:25:46,762 --> 00:25:49,547
Sold us out!
Sold us out!
506
00:25:49,549 --> 00:25:52,132
Sold us out! Sold us out!
507
00:25:52,134 --> 00:25:54,351
I never thought
it could get this bad.
508
00:25:54,353 --> 00:25:55,436
Did you hear those people?
509
00:25:55,438 --> 00:25:57,805
Jesus Christ.
510
00:25:57,807 --> 00:25:59,056
What if we appeal
to the Supreme Court?
511
00:25:59,058 --> 00:26:00,357
What if we say
we're gonna appeal?
512
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,142
There are no grounds, Nick.
The lawyers said so.
513
00:26:02,144 --> 00:26:04,361
- Fuck the lawyers.
- Fuck the lawyers?
514
00:26:04,363 --> 00:26:06,030
- Yeah.
- You got a law degree, right, Nick?
515
00:26:06,032 --> 00:26:07,481
Yeah, I got too much
pride to use it.
516
00:26:07,483 --> 00:26:09,366
Seriously, fuck
the fucking lawyers.
517
00:26:10,953 --> 00:26:13,204
Seriously, I don't see
how you guys can sit here
518
00:26:13,206 --> 00:26:16,991
going over it again
and again and again.
519
00:26:16,993 --> 00:26:18,792
I just want to go home.
520
00:26:18,794 --> 00:26:20,160
All right,
I'm right behind you.
521
00:26:20,162 --> 00:26:22,413
I need to
decompress, okay?
522
00:26:22,415 --> 00:26:26,000
I'm wired and exhausted
all at once.
523
00:26:26,002 --> 00:26:28,752
I get it.
524
00:26:28,754 --> 00:26:29,920
- I'll see you later.
- Be safe, okay?
525
00:26:29,922 --> 00:26:32,339
Yeah.

00:26:32,341 --> 00:26:36,510
♪ oh, I wanna dancewith somebody... ♪
527
00:26:36,512 --> 00:26:38,345
What's wrong with you?
Fuck the lawyers?
528
00:26:38,347 --> 00:26:40,898
Never. The lawyers
only fuck you.
529
00:26:40,900 --> 00:26:45,653
Yesterday they sent us a bill for
another $160,000 for last month,
530
00:26:45,655 --> 00:26:47,404
which means
we've already spent,
531
00:26:47,406 --> 00:26:49,323
what, $15 million
fighting this thing?
532
00:26:49,325 --> 00:26:52,159
Yeah, well, what's another
couple hundred thousand?
533
00:26:52,161 --> 00:26:53,944
Come on, Nick. When we
accepted the consent decree,
534
00:26:53,946 --> 00:26:56,196
we gave up
our right to appeal.
535
00:26:56,198 --> 00:26:59,116
You go to the Supreme Court now, you
piss off Judge Sand all over again.
536
00:26:59,118 --> 00:27:02,286
All right, so we don't appeal the
low-income housing part of the plan.
537
00:27:02,288 --> 00:27:03,837
That's done, fine.
538
00:27:03,839 --> 00:27:05,839
But we can still appeal the
affordable housing part, can't we?
539
00:27:05,841 --> 00:27:07,424
Right?
540
00:27:07,426 --> 00:27:08,792
That's the next
800 units
541
00:27:08,794 --> 00:27:11,295
that we're gonna have to
build after these sites.
542
00:27:11,297 --> 00:27:13,514
What?
543
00:27:13,516 --> 00:27:15,132
Would you rather take
your chances with Judge Sand
544
00:27:15,134 --> 00:27:20,187
or the good and angry people
of Yonkers, New York?
545
00:27:20,189 --> 00:27:22,856
Whoa, wait a minute.
Are you shitting me?
546
00:27:22,858 --> 00:27:25,059
- Maalox and Stoli?
- Yeah.
547
00:27:25,061 --> 00:27:26,477
I've never
seen anyone do that.
548
00:27:26,479 --> 00:27:27,811
Me neither, actually.

00:27:40,126 --> 00:27:42,493
That's extra.

Extra?
555
00:27:43,996 --> 00:27:46,246
Yeah, you know they always
give you extra pieces.
556
00:27:46,248 --> 00:27:47,798
No, they don't always.
557
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:49,216
For real, Skip,
we gotta do this right
558
00:27:49,218 --> 00:27:51,085
or the baby gonna be falling
through the slats or some shit.
559
00:27:51,087 --> 00:27:53,220
- Oh, my God.
- This is serious.
560
00:27:53,222 --> 00:27:56,090
It ain't funny. We got to assemble
this right or it's dangerous.
561
00:27:56,092 --> 00:27:58,058
All right,
just chill out.
562
00:27:58,060 --> 00:27:59,510
You want me
to call my father?
563
00:27:59,512 --> 00:28:00,511
He know how
to do shit right.
564
00:28:00,513 --> 00:28:03,347
No, you ain't gotta
call nobody.
565
00:28:03,349 --> 00:28:05,849
What, you don't think
I know how to be a daddy?
566
00:28:05,851 --> 00:28:09,236
Yo, as soon as this boy come
out, I'm going back to school.
567
00:28:09,238 --> 00:28:11,405
School? You?
568
00:28:11,407 --> 00:28:13,524
Yeah, me.
569
00:28:13,526 --> 00:28:15,993
Westchester CC.
570
00:28:15,995 --> 00:28:18,412
In the spring.
571
00:28:18,414 --> 00:28:21,699
I mean, I want
to quit now, but...
572
00:28:21,701 --> 00:28:25,169
I need the cash so I can
step back and do it right.
573
00:28:27,923 --> 00:28:29,840
What you gonna study?
574
00:28:29,842 --> 00:28:33,043
Something to get me hired.
575
00:28:33,045 --> 00:28:36,430
I don't know, maybe computers or some shit.
I don't know.
576
00:28:38,384 --> 00:28:40,384
You know, definitely
not construction.
577
00:28:40,386 --> 00:28:43,637
This shit ain't me, man.
578
00:28:43,639 --> 00:28:45,556
- It's not you, babe.
- It's not me.
579
00:28:45,558 --> 00:28:47,107
But it's okay.
580
00:28:50,730 --> 00:28:52,529
Felipe missed you.
581
00:28:52,531 --> 00:28:55,532
That he and his father have this
time together is a good thing.
582
00:28:55,534 --> 00:28:57,151
I got the banana.
583
00:28:57,153 --> 00:28:59,119
Good boy.
584
00:29:00,740 --> 00:29:03,407
Well, he home now.
585
00:29:03,409 --> 00:29:05,576
And you, too.
586
00:29:05,578 --> 00:29:07,544
It's better for them
here, Javier,
587
00:29:07,546 --> 00:29:10,381
but I am killing myself.
588
00:29:10,383 --> 00:29:12,499
I'm working at the school
12 hours a day
589
00:29:12,501 --> 00:29:14,168
and I still can't keep up.
590
00:29:14,170 --> 00:29:16,470
Rent, electricity--
591
00:29:16,472 --> 00:29:19,256
it's cheaper than New York,
but not that cheap.
592
00:29:19,258 --> 00:29:22,643
And food. Food alone costs almost
as much as I make here in a week.
593
00:29:22,645 --> 00:29:24,228
But Felipe's happy, no?
594
00:29:24,230 --> 00:29:27,398
All your kids.
595
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,768
Plus, your place
in New York is bad.
596
00:29:30,770 --> 00:29:32,236
So it's settled.
597
00:29:32,238 --> 00:29:34,405
What is settled?
598
00:29:34,407 --> 00:29:36,023
You raise my son here.
599
00:29:36,025 --> 00:29:38,609
- You didn't hear what I said?
- I heard what you said.
600
00:29:38,611 --> 00:29:41,195
- I can't believe you're saying it.
- Which part?
601
00:29:41,197 --> 00:29:44,364
The part about the money? 'Cause I
don't see you working 12 hours a day
602
00:29:44,366 --> 00:29:46,283
to put food in his mouth
and a roof over his head.
603
00:29:46,285 --> 00:29:48,335
That my fault, huh?
604
00:29:48,337 --> 00:29:50,537
That my fault?
Always my fault.
605
00:29:50,539 --> 00:29:53,173
Huh? You gonna leave your
kids here with a maid, huh?
606
00:29:53,175 --> 00:29:55,426
And you go back to America.
That's my fault?
607
00:29:55,428 --> 00:29:57,544
The maid knows them
a lot better than you do.
608
00:29:57,546 --> 00:29:59,379
Anyway, my mother
is just down the street.
609
00:29:59,381 --> 00:30:01,965
You're a bad mother.
610
00:30:01,966 --> 00:30:04,053
You're gonna leave your sons
here and you're gonna run away.
611
00:30:04,054 --> 00:30:05,195
You're not a father.
612
00:30:05,196 --> 00:30:07,506
Do you want Felipe
living with you?
613
00:30:07,507 --> 00:30:08,477
No.
614
00:30:08,478 --> 00:30:10,630
Then you have no say here.
615
00:30:10,665 --> 00:30:12,376
Felipe!
616
00:30:15,197 --> 00:30:18,615
Sand is dirt! Sand is dirt!
617
00:30:20,453 --> 00:30:21,985
Go ahead.
618
00:30:23,205 --> 00:30:25,322
- Thank you. Excuse me.
- That's their lawyer.
619
00:30:25,324 --> 00:30:27,324
- That's fucking Sussman!
- Excuse me, please.
620
00:30:27,326 --> 00:30:29,493
Hey, fuck you,
you son of a bitch!
621
00:30:29,495 --> 00:30:31,578
Thank you! Thank you!
622
00:30:31,580 --> 00:30:33,997
Uh, Michael Sussman,
lead council for the NAACP.
623
00:30:33,999 --> 00:30:36,166
- Not this door.
- What do you mean, not this door?
624
00:30:36,168 --> 00:30:38,385
They just-- they just told me
to come in the side door. I could get in.
625
00:30:38,387 --> 00:30:40,804
- That's what they just told me.
- You were told wrong.
626
00:30:40,806 --> 00:30:43,640
Look, Officer, I got
to get in there, okay?
627
00:30:43,642 --> 00:30:45,008
I got to be
in court tomorrow--
628
00:30:45,010 --> 00:30:46,643
depending on what they do
tonight be ready to argue
629
00:30:46,645 --> 00:30:48,345
that the council
be held in contempt.
630
00:30:48,347 --> 00:30:50,481
- I got to get--
- What can I tell you?
631
00:30:52,518 --> 00:30:54,234
You're really doing
an exemplary job, Officer.
632
00:30:54,236 --> 00:30:56,436
Really preserving the peace.
Thank you.
633
00:30:58,357 --> 00:31:01,191
Okay, I guess I'll just
have to use the front door.
634
00:31:01,193 --> 00:31:03,660
Officer of the court coming through.
Excuse me.
635
00:31:03,662 --> 00:31:06,780
Right. I'm not playing
this game, okay?
636
00:31:06,782 --> 00:31:08,866
I'm not playing this game.
Excuse me, sir.
637
00:31:08,868 --> 00:31:10,701
Please keep your hands--
thank you.
638
00:31:10,703 --> 00:31:13,453
Officer of the court coming through.
Excuse me.
639
00:31:20,379 --> 00:31:23,046
Look, I know
it sounds bad out there.
640
00:31:23,048 --> 00:31:26,133
I know what's
in your ears.
641
00:31:26,135 --> 00:31:28,936
But the vote tonight was specifically
requested by Judge Sand.
642
00:31:28,938 --> 00:31:33,223
Now, he's not yet asking
that we name more sites
643
00:31:33,225 --> 00:31:36,944
or even have a full plan
for affordable housing.
644
00:31:36,946 --> 00:31:40,814
What he is asking is that the council
affirm that we're still committed
645
00:31:40,816 --> 00:31:43,233
to the affordable housing
part of the settlement.
646
00:31:45,788 --> 00:31:47,871
And we have
to be committed.
647
00:31:47,873 --> 00:31:49,656
We agreed to it.
648
00:31:52,912 --> 00:31:54,661
Understood?
649
00:32:00,169 --> 00:32:02,803
Good.
650
00:32:02,805 --> 00:32:06,089
Appeal! Appeal! Appeal!
651
00:32:06,091 --> 00:32:08,175
Yeah, you bunch
of bums!
652
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,565
- Oh, you!
- It's all right.
653
00:32:20,990 --> 00:32:23,774
The Yonkers City Council
is now in session.
654
00:32:23,776 --> 00:32:25,409
Mr. Clerk?
655
00:32:27,529 --> 00:32:30,447
- Please take your seats.
- Excuse me, may I? Thank you.
656
00:32:30,449 --> 00:32:32,783
Will you please
take your seats?
657
00:32:32,785 --> 00:32:35,035
This is my first meeting.
658
00:32:36,455 --> 00:32:37,955
What do you do with this?
Any idea?
659
00:32:37,957 --> 00:32:39,706
Here's your Pampers,
baby mayor!
660
00:32:43,262 --> 00:32:45,095
Yeah, I'm
talking about you!
661
00:32:46,799 --> 00:32:48,098
Hey!
662
00:32:48,100 --> 00:32:50,684
Try this on for size!
663
00:32:50,686 --> 00:32:52,853
Remove him! What
are you waiting for?
664
00:32:52,855 --> 00:32:55,639
Mr. Mayor, I think
this was meant for you.
665
00:32:55,641 --> 00:32:58,308
Thank you, Hank.
666
00:33:04,900 --> 00:33:07,401
We've had it with what
you're doing here!
667
00:33:07,403 --> 00:33:09,870
The hell with you!
668
00:33:09,872 --> 00:33:13,573
Officers, officers, could you
please take care of this?
669
00:33:13,575 --> 00:33:15,792
Don't you
build those projects!
670
00:33:15,794 --> 00:33:17,494
That's enough of you!
671
00:33:17,496 --> 00:33:19,579
Officers.
672
00:33:22,668 --> 00:33:26,053
Hey, I'm not leaving.
I'm not leaving.
673
00:33:26,055 --> 00:33:28,005
You wanna carry me?
674
00:33:28,007 --> 00:33:29,473
Leave her alone!
675
00:33:29,475 --> 00:33:31,725
Don't you dare, Bobby.
676
00:33:31,727 --> 00:33:34,144
Don't you dare.
I know your mother.
677
00:33:36,348 --> 00:33:38,432
Don't you dare!
678
00:33:42,938 --> 00:33:46,323
Don't you dare! Don't you dare!
679
00:33:46,325 --> 00:33:49,943
Don't you dare!
Don't you dare!
680
00:33:52,531 --> 00:33:55,615
As indicated
by our last vote,
681
00:33:55,617 --> 00:33:59,670
we elected to appeal the
affordable housing portion
682
00:33:59,672 --> 00:34:01,755
of the judge's order
to the Supreme Court,
683
00:34:01,757 --> 00:34:03,790
but the Supreme Court
has refused to--
684
00:34:03,792 --> 00:34:06,043
Appeal all of it,
you coward!
685
00:34:06,045 --> 00:34:09,262
Roll call, Mr. Clerk. Roll call.
686
00:34:10,883 --> 00:34:12,766
- Mayor Wasicsko?
- Aye.
687
00:34:14,219 --> 00:34:16,520
- Vice Mayor Spallone?
- No.
688
00:34:18,023 --> 00:34:21,608
- Majority Leader Cola?
- No.
689
00:34:21,610 --> 00:34:25,145
- Minority Leader Longo?
- No.
690
00:34:25,147 --> 00:34:28,899
- Council Member Fagan?
- No.
691
00:34:28,901 --> 00:34:32,202
- Council Member Chema?
- No.
692
00:34:32,204 --> 00:34:35,572
- Council Member Oxman?
- Abstain.
693
00:34:35,574 --> 00:34:37,290
Pussy.
694
00:34:37,292 --> 00:34:41,211
I have one aye,
five nays, one abstention.
695
00:34:41,213 --> 00:34:43,580
The measure fails!
696
00:34:43,582 --> 00:34:46,917
Meeting adjourned.
697
00:35:00,733 --> 00:35:03,517
I wanna play.
When's it my turn?
698
00:35:03,519 --> 00:35:05,519
You're six. You don't
know how to do anything.
699
00:35:05,521 --> 00:35:06,686
Next game.
700
00:35:06,688 --> 00:35:07,938
You always say,
"Next game."
701
00:35:07,940 --> 00:35:09,573
Guys...
702
00:35:09,575 --> 00:35:12,242
I have something
to tell you.
703
00:35:12,244 --> 00:35:13,944
This isn't gonna be easy
for any of us,
704
00:35:13,946 --> 00:35:16,113
but I have to go back
to New York soon.
705
00:35:16,115 --> 00:35:17,330
- What?
- No fair.
706
00:35:17,332 --> 00:35:19,282
No, you can't.
707
00:35:19,284 --> 00:35:21,668
Felipe.
708
00:35:22,788 --> 00:35:24,037
This is best.
709
00:35:24,039 --> 00:35:26,840
For you to be here while
I earn what I can there.
710
00:35:28,127 --> 00:35:29,843
Okay?
711
00:35:31,964 --> 00:35:34,014
Do you understand?
712
00:36:12,337 --> 00:36:15,172
About 50 protesters
from the Save Yonkers Federation
713
00:36:15,174 --> 00:36:17,808
greeted New York's Cardinal
John O'Connor this afternoon
714
00:36:17,810 --> 00:36:22,012
when he rived at the gate of Saint
Joseph's Seminary in Dunwoodie.
715
00:36:22,014 --> 00:36:24,681
The group objects to the New
York Archdiocese's agreement
716
00:36:24,683 --> 00:36:28,602
to give some of the seminary's land to
the City of Yonkers for public housing.
717
00:36:28,604 --> 00:36:31,354
We're urging
Catholics all over the city,
718
00:36:31,356 --> 00:36:33,907
especially the parishionersof St. John the Baptist,
719
00:36:33,909 --> 00:36:37,020
to withhold their donations
from the church
720
00:36:37,021 --> 00:36:38,863
and from the cardinal's appeal.
721
00:36:38,898 --> 00:36:41,248
He needs to rememberwho the people are
722
00:36:41,250 --> 00:36:43,333
who arein his archdiocese.
723
00:36:46,672 --> 00:36:49,039
Prenatal clinic.
724
00:36:52,127 --> 00:36:55,462
Is there
a Doreen Henderson here?
725
00:36:55,464 --> 00:36:56,930
Me.
726
00:36:56,932 --> 00:37:00,717
Miss Henderson,I have a call for you.
727
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:02,185
For me?
728
00:37:03,138 --> 00:37:04,971
- Here?
- Mm.
729
00:37:07,226 --> 00:37:09,276
Hello?
730
00:37:39,391 --> 00:37:41,057
Ahem.
731
00:37:48,734 --> 00:37:52,319
Gammy found him in
the apartment in Mulford.
732
00:37:52,321 --> 00:37:55,772
My boy always
had trouble with that. Always.
733
00:37:57,109 --> 00:38:00,527
I never knew Skip to breathe
without a struggle.
734
00:38:07,085 --> 00:38:10,120
What are we going to do?
735
00:38:14,176 --> 00:38:16,459
Clerk will
call the roll...
736
00:38:18,297 --> 00:38:20,964
on the resolution
approving the plan
737
00:38:20,966 --> 00:38:23,883
for 800 units
of affordable housing
738
00:38:23,885 --> 00:38:26,136
to be built
on the specified sites.
739
00:38:26,138 --> 00:38:28,188
Ahem.
740
00:38:28,190 --> 00:38:30,690
On the resolution
approving the plan
741
00:38:30,692 --> 00:38:34,194
for 800 units to be built
on the specified sites.
742
00:38:37,649 --> 00:38:39,816
What are you doing?
743
00:38:39,818 --> 00:38:42,235
I'm practicing.
744
00:38:43,822 --> 00:38:45,905
I'm trying to do it
as dispassionately as I can.
745
00:38:47,826 --> 00:38:49,743
Just even voice and...
746
00:38:52,214 --> 00:38:55,332
no show of emotion.
747
00:38:55,334 --> 00:38:57,834
I just want 'em to see that it's
not getting to me, you know?
748
00:38:57,836 --> 00:39:00,337
Yeah?
How's it going?
749
00:39:00,339 --> 00:39:01,972
I think I'm getting
better at it.
750
00:39:01,974 --> 00:39:03,640
- Yeah?
- I think so.
751
00:39:03,642 --> 00:39:05,008
- Good.
- Yeah.
752
00:39:05,010 --> 00:39:06,726
Keep practicing.
753
00:39:09,648 --> 00:39:11,681
Clerk will call
the roll.
754
00:39:15,070 --> 00:39:16,987
- Ahem.
- Yeah.
755
00:39:16,989 --> 00:39:19,105
Clerk will
call the roll.
756
00:39:22,110 --> 00:39:24,694
Clerk will call...
757
00:39:24,696 --> 00:39:26,246
the roll.
758
00:39:29,167 --> 00:39:33,370
Clerk will
roll the call.
759
00:39:42,297 --> 00:39:43,596
- Ma'am
- Thank you.
760
00:39:58,196 --> 00:40:01,731
Are you okay, ma'am?
761
00:40:01,733 --> 00:40:04,200
My children.
762
00:40:04,201 --> 00:40:06,478
I miss them already.
763
00:40:06,479 --> 00:40:09,004
I'm so sorry, ma'am.
764
00:40:23,722 --> 00:40:26,339
Your nephew
can't come anymore?
765
00:40:30,095 --> 00:40:32,345
I'm going to miss you.
766
00:40:33,515 --> 00:40:35,315
I know, darling.
767
00:40:35,317 --> 00:40:38,151
Your eyes can't
get any better?
768
00:40:40,739 --> 00:40:43,490
No, Mr. Hobart,
they can't.
769
00:40:43,492 --> 00:40:45,992
Norma,
how old are you?
770
00:40:47,946 --> 00:40:50,947
I'm 47.
771
00:40:50,949 --> 00:40:52,449
You're still young.
772
00:40:52,451 --> 00:40:55,618
Am I?
773
00:40:57,506 --> 00:40:59,006
_
774
00:40:59,007 --> 00:41:00,623
Misled?
775
00:41:00,625 --> 00:41:02,876
Misled?
Look at this.
776
00:41:02,878 --> 00:41:05,545
"Too many people
of any category together
777
00:41:05,547 --> 00:41:07,464
can lead
to a ghetto situation"?
778
00:41:07,466 --> 00:41:08,765
Are you kidding me?
779
00:41:08,767 --> 00:41:11,267
Your Honor, I know we're
well past your deadline
780
00:41:11,269 --> 00:41:13,019
for approving the affordable
housing component,
781
00:41:13,021 --> 00:41:16,055
but the cardinal's turnaround has
the council marching backwards.
782
00:41:16,057 --> 00:41:18,274
They're asking for a new
vote on the consent decree.
783
00:41:18,276 --> 00:41:21,978
They're saying that your decision
is antireligion. Or anti-Catholic.
784
00:41:21,980 --> 00:41:25,148
Another Hebrew
plot exposed!
785
00:41:25,150 --> 00:41:28,618
Yonkers officials are obviously using
the cardinal's unfortunate retreat
786
00:41:28,620 --> 00:41:31,704
as a transparent ploy to get out
of the entire consent decree.
787
00:41:31,706 --> 00:41:34,958
And please tell
your mayor I said so.
788
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:37,827
And where is
Mr. Wasicsko today?
789
00:41:37,829 --> 00:41:39,963
He's meeting with
our trial attorneys.
790
00:41:39,965 --> 00:41:42,799
Apparently, Cardinal O'Connor isn't
the only one with cold feet.
791
00:41:42,801 --> 00:41:45,301
Jesus Christ.
792
00:41:45,303 --> 00:41:47,554
Of course my firm has to
resign from the case.
793
00:41:47,556 --> 00:41:49,806
I mean, what choice
do we have?
794
00:41:49,808 --> 00:41:50,807
Our integrity's
been attacked.
795
00:41:50,809 --> 00:41:52,892
The entire law firm
has been attacked.
796
00:41:52,894 --> 00:41:55,929
I've been accused of misleading
the cardinal, for God's sake.
797
00:41:55,931 --> 00:41:58,148
Cigar?
798
00:41:59,684 --> 00:42:03,520
Cardinal O'Connor is actually
saying we bamboozled him,
799
00:42:03,522 --> 00:42:06,105
as if we tricked him
into offering land.
800
00:42:06,107 --> 00:42:08,858
Yeah, it's a dirty
business, huh?
801
00:42:11,196 --> 00:42:13,947
Nobody gets out clean,
do they?
802
00:42:15,700 --> 00:42:18,501
Gentlemen, I asked
for the council to affirm
803
00:42:18,503 --> 00:42:20,620
that Yonkers
still supports continuing
804
00:42:20,622 --> 00:42:22,705
with the second phase
of the court settlement--
805
00:42:22,707 --> 00:42:24,757
the affordable
housing plan--
806
00:42:24,759 --> 00:42:28,178
and the latest council action
signals the exact opposite.
807
00:42:28,180 --> 00:42:30,880
So we are backto the usual precipice.
808
00:42:30,882 --> 00:42:33,383
I'm setting next Mondayas a deadline for a vote
809
00:42:33,385 --> 00:42:36,436
in favor of enactmentof a full housing plan,
810
00:42:36,438 --> 00:42:38,188
including the affordablehousing component.
811
00:42:38,190 --> 00:42:40,890
Should you not approve a plan by
then, you and the City of Yonkers
812
00:42:40,892 --> 00:42:44,694
will be in contempt of court
and fines will begin.
813
00:42:44,696 --> 00:42:48,898
In addition, anyone who fails
to vote in favor of enactment
814
00:42:48,900 --> 00:42:52,318
will be personally fined
$500 a day and imprisoned.
815
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:54,070
They'll be releasedonce a week
816
00:42:54,072 --> 00:42:57,624
to attend a council meeting and
consider changing their vote.
817
00:42:57,626 --> 00:43:00,043
Gentlemen, our object
818
00:43:00,045 --> 00:43:03,213
is not to create
martyrs or heroes.
819
00:43:04,749 --> 00:43:07,250
Our object is to get
this housing built.
820
00:43:58,470 --> 00:44:01,304
Big night tonight, Pop.
821
00:44:01,306 --> 00:44:04,807
Judge is gonna give us
one more chance.
822
00:44:04,809 --> 00:44:08,528
Deuce hits the fan and we separate
the men from the shit talkers.
823
00:44:18,323 --> 00:44:21,491
Well, I don't think
I got the votes.
824
00:44:23,795 --> 00:44:27,046
The stuff they're gonna be
saying tonight,
825
00:44:27,048 --> 00:44:30,667
the shouting, the things
they're gonna call me...
826
00:44:39,177 --> 00:44:40,843
You know, I wish
you woulda lived long enough
827
00:44:40,845 --> 00:44:44,981
to see me win my first
primary for council seat.
828
00:44:44,983 --> 00:44:49,152
New on the job, everybody
wanted to be my friend.
829
00:44:57,696 --> 00:44:59,662
It won't be like this
forever, though, right?
830
00:45:03,668 --> 00:45:04,784
I'll see you.
831
00:45:04,786 --> 00:45:06,202
Okay.
832
00:45:06,204 --> 00:45:07,954
Ahem.
833
00:45:13,428 --> 00:45:15,962
That's the son of a bitch
working for Judge Sand.
834
00:45:15,964 --> 00:45:18,214
The guy with the beard.
835
00:45:21,886 --> 00:45:23,219
Oh.
836
00:45:24,689 --> 00:45:26,723
You piece of shit. That's
right, you're a piece of shit.
837
00:45:26,725 --> 00:45:27,807
Hiding behind the cops.
838
00:45:27,809 --> 00:45:30,059
He's a Jew, Newman.
839
00:45:30,061 --> 00:45:32,362
They all are. That's
why this is happening.
840
00:45:32,364 --> 00:45:34,731
- They're not all Jewish.
- Well, Sussman,
841
00:45:34,733 --> 00:45:36,866
the lawyer that brought
the suit, he's Jewish.
842
00:45:36,868 --> 00:45:38,735
And Newman and Sand.
843
00:45:38,737 --> 00:45:43,072
Last weekend, when we went up to
Pound Ridge where he has a house--
844
00:45:43,074 --> 00:45:44,907
Wait a minute.
You went-- you--
845
00:45:44,909 --> 00:45:47,794
I'm sorry, but you
went to Pound Ridge
846
00:45:47,796 --> 00:45:50,663
where Judge Sand lives
to protest?
847
00:45:50,665 --> 00:45:53,750
Judge wasn't home, but I'm
sure he got the message.
848
00:45:53,752 --> 00:45:56,919
You know, I don't think it's right
to make this about religion.
849
00:45:56,921 --> 00:45:58,337
That's not the point.
850
00:45:58,339 --> 00:46:02,675
All I'm saying is look who's
behind all this mess.
851
00:46:16,441 --> 00:46:18,491
Good to see you.
852
00:46:19,527 --> 00:46:22,161
Well, it's gonna
be a wild one.
853
00:46:22,163 --> 00:46:26,282
- Don't you feel threatened?
- Nah. Goes with the job.
854
00:46:26,284 --> 00:46:28,618
Maybe with yours.
855
00:46:29,954 --> 00:46:32,255
All right, Hank!
Go get 'em!
856
00:46:32,257 --> 00:46:37,043
Hey, Hank! You tell 'em!
857
00:46:39,097 --> 00:46:42,348
Show us the pictures!
Let us see what's on them.
858
00:46:56,781 --> 00:46:59,148
Will council members
please take their seats?
859
00:47:02,454 --> 00:47:04,454
Council members,
take your seats, please.
860
00:47:05,824 --> 00:47:08,458
Mr. Spallone, would you
please take your seat?
861
00:47:11,045 --> 00:47:13,996
All right, as a first
order of business,
862
00:47:13,998 --> 00:47:17,800
the, uh--
the council members
863
00:47:17,802 --> 00:47:20,386
would like tojust take a few moments
864
00:47:20,388 --> 00:47:22,421
to honor the firefighters
865
00:47:22,423 --> 00:47:25,174
and the police officersof this city
866
00:47:25,176 --> 00:47:29,729
who have shown extraordinary
bravery this past year.
867
00:47:31,850 --> 00:47:34,317
These men risk
their lives.
868
00:47:36,905 --> 00:47:39,689
You go home to your
mother, Wasicsko!
869
00:47:39,691 --> 00:47:42,492
Go home to your mother!
870
00:47:42,494 --> 00:47:44,944
Your father
would be ashamed of you.
871
00:47:44,946 --> 00:47:47,363
Officers,
please eject this woman.
872
00:47:47,365 --> 00:47:50,116
You hear me?
You're a sleaze!
873
00:47:50,118 --> 00:47:53,002
You're a sleaze,
Wasicsko!
874
00:47:53,004 --> 00:47:56,756
Come on. Let's go.
875
00:47:56,758 --> 00:47:59,425
- Here we go.
- Shame on you, Mr. Mayor.
876
00:48:00,962 --> 00:48:04,046
I invite everyone to come with
me to the housing projects.
877
00:48:04,048 --> 00:48:05,214
Yeah.
878
00:48:05,216 --> 00:48:09,268
You can see here what public
housing always leads to.
879
00:48:09,270 --> 00:48:12,555
Not just here in Yonkers,
but everywhere else.
880
00:48:12,557 --> 00:48:15,975
Now, these are places that
have become crack jungles
881
00:48:15,977 --> 00:48:20,363
which have trapped innocent people
in the name of helping minorities.
882
00:48:20,365 --> 00:48:22,949
As many of you know, I have
been opposed to this plan...
883
00:48:22,951 --> 00:48:24,283
Cola, you sellout!
884
00:48:24,285 --> 00:48:26,035
...but I am voting
for it because...
885
00:48:29,908 --> 00:48:33,543
I am voting for it because maintaining
our bond rating is too important.
886
00:48:33,545 --> 00:48:36,295
This is a direct attack
by the judge
887
00:48:36,297 --> 00:48:38,581
on the quality of life
here in Yonkers.
888
00:48:38,583 --> 00:48:40,666
This is--
889
00:48:40,668 --> 00:48:44,503
it's a typical case of the
hypocrisy of the rich
890
00:48:44,505 --> 00:48:46,505
and the elitists
looking down on those
891
00:48:46,507 --> 00:48:48,758
who have to work
for everything they have.
892
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:50,977
It is not up
to this council
893
00:48:50,979 --> 00:48:54,013
to judge on the constitutionality
of a court order.
894
00:48:55,433 --> 00:48:59,602
We've all sworn an obligation
to uphold and obey the law.
895
00:48:59,604 --> 00:49:01,103
This is not about race.
896
00:49:01,105 --> 00:49:04,657
This is not solely a black
and white question.
897
00:49:04,659 --> 00:49:07,276
This is a green issue.
898
00:49:07,278 --> 00:49:11,197
This is a question
of economics.
899
00:49:11,199 --> 00:49:13,282
Roll call vote,
Mr. Clerk,
900
00:49:13,284 --> 00:49:17,336
on the intent to adopt the
housing plan as proposed.
901
00:49:17,338 --> 00:49:20,873
I got your
intent right here!
902
00:49:20,875 --> 00:49:23,125
- Mayor Wasicsko.
- Aye.
903
00:49:23,127 --> 00:49:25,544
Vice Mayor Spallone?
904
00:49:25,546 --> 00:49:28,047
No.
905
00:49:28,049 --> 00:49:30,766
- Majority Leader Cola?
- Yes.
906
00:49:32,553 --> 00:49:35,471
- Minority Leader Longo?
- No.
907
00:49:36,858 --> 00:49:40,943
- Council Member Fagan?
- No.
908
00:49:40,945 --> 00:49:44,563
- Mr. Chema?
- No.
909
00:49:44,565 --> 00:49:48,234
- Mr. Oxman?
- Yes.
910
00:49:48,236 --> 00:49:50,786
I have three
ayes, four nays.
911
00:49:50,788 --> 00:49:52,321
The measure fails.
912
00:49:52,323 --> 00:49:53,489
Meeting adjourned.
913
00:49:57,996 --> 00:49:59,795
There does have to come
a moment of truth,
914
00:49:59,797 --> 00:50:02,715
a moment of reckoning, a moment
when the City of Yonkers
915
00:50:02,717 --> 00:50:06,335
seeks not to become a national
symbol of defiance of civil rights
916
00:50:06,337 --> 00:50:09,972
and not to heap shameupon shame upon itself.
917
00:50:09,974 --> 00:50:13,009
No court has strained harder,
with greater patience,
918
00:50:13,011 --> 00:50:16,012
to defer to the stateand local government.
919
00:50:17,515 --> 00:50:20,399
But it would be difficultto imagine a clearer challenge
920
00:50:20,401 --> 00:50:23,903
to the Constitutionor to a government of law
921
00:50:23,905 --> 00:50:27,106
than that presentedthis morning.
922
00:50:27,108 --> 00:50:28,824
I therefore haveno alternative
923
00:50:28,826 --> 00:50:33,663
other than to find the City of
Yonkers in contempt of this court
924
00:50:33,665 --> 00:50:37,867
and impose a penalty of $100
a day, beginning today.
925
00:50:37,869 --> 00:50:40,670
A fine that will doubleevery day hereafter.
926
00:50:40,672 --> 00:50:42,455
As for you, councilmen,
927
00:50:42,457 --> 00:50:45,875
I find your rationale to bea frivolous pretext.
928
00:50:45,877 --> 00:50:49,462
How much hypocrisy must
accompany this litigation?
929
00:50:49,464 --> 00:50:53,432
I find Councilmen Longo,
Fagan, Chema, and Spallone
930
00:50:53,434 --> 00:50:57,553
to be personally and individually
in contempt of this court
931
00:50:57,555 --> 00:50:59,555
and impose upon each
of you a penalty
932
00:50:59,557 --> 00:51:03,192
of $500 a day,
beginning today.
933
00:51:04,729 --> 00:51:08,564
In addition, if the necessary
legislation is not enacted
934
00:51:08,566 --> 00:51:11,617
on or beforenext Wednesday, August 10th,
935
00:51:11,619 --> 00:51:14,320
you will report to the federal
marshal for imprisonment
936
00:51:14,322 --> 00:51:17,073
until such timeas you have purged yourself
937
00:51:17,075 --> 00:51:20,743
of contempt by approvingthe housing plan.
938
00:51:20,745 --> 00:51:23,462
This court
stands adjourned.
939
00:51:23,464 --> 00:51:25,798
All rise.
940
00:51:35,843 --> 00:51:38,594
_
941
00:51:44,268 --> 00:51:47,520
Is anybody
gonna get that?
942
00:51:47,522 --> 00:51:49,655
Lisa?
943
00:51:51,325 --> 00:51:53,242
Nay?
944
00:51:53,244 --> 00:51:55,745
Is anybody out here?
945
00:52:10,962 --> 00:52:12,261
Mayor's office.
946
00:52:12,263 --> 00:52:13,846
Yes, my nameis Mary Dorman.
947
00:52:13,848 --> 00:52:15,631
I would like to talkto the mayor, please.
948
00:52:15,633 --> 00:52:16,932
This is the mayor.
949
00:52:19,971 --> 00:52:21,387
Hello?
950
00:52:23,057 --> 00:52:25,441
This is Mayor Wasicsko.
951
00:52:26,394 --> 00:52:29,895
This is--
I didn't, uh--
952
00:52:29,897 --> 00:52:33,816
I didn't expect
for you to answer.
953
00:52:35,570 --> 00:52:38,037
I called-- I wanted
to tell you that I, um--
954
00:52:38,039 --> 00:52:41,373
I think it's wrong of you
to support the housing.
955
00:52:43,294 --> 00:52:47,079
Yeah, well,
the law is the law,
956
00:52:47,081 --> 00:52:51,167
and the judge ordered it
and the court upheld it
957
00:52:51,169 --> 00:52:54,003
and the law's the law.
958
00:52:54,005 --> 00:52:56,472
Well, why can't you say
that you think it's wrong?
959
00:52:56,474 --> 00:52:57,923
At least let
the people know that.
960
00:52:57,925 --> 00:53:02,478
Because that's not what
a leader is supposed to do.
961
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:05,431
A leader is supposed to lead, and
that's what I'm trying to do.
962
00:53:10,154 --> 00:53:13,689
You threw me out
of the last council meeting.
963
00:53:16,694 --> 00:53:18,194
Which one were you?
964
00:53:18,196 --> 00:53:21,614
I have gray
salt-and-pepper hair.
965
00:53:21,616 --> 00:53:23,332
I have--
wear glasses.
966
00:53:23,334 --> 00:53:26,919
I was standing
right at the railing.
967
00:53:28,289 --> 00:53:30,089
Yeah, I remember you.
968
00:53:36,214 --> 00:53:38,547
I promise I'll never
have you thrown out again.
969
00:53:41,769 --> 00:53:43,435
Okay?
970
00:53:45,389 --> 00:53:46,889
Okay.
971
00:53:51,562 --> 00:53:53,479
All right,
good-bye now.
972
00:54:03,157 --> 00:54:05,324
Who was that?
973
00:54:05,326 --> 00:54:07,409
No one, really.
