Eliminate BP’s Office

To the Editor:
It is regrettable in a city where so many have lost their jobs, that the Manhattan Borough President proposes a vegetable garden in City Hall Park (Express, “State of the Borough,” Feb. 11). It is yet another milestone—not on the road to City Hall, but to the elimination of the borough presidencies.

2009 candidate for borough president
