WIRE Reports Relating to Self-Governance
While the term "self-governance" has largely been discarded as inadequately descriptive of residents' plans for some form of "home rule" on Roosevelt Island, it remains in common use as shorthand for "an elected RIOC Board empowered to hire professional community management." The following Main Street WIRE reports trace some of the history of the movement. 1997/04/08 Residents Moving Against RIOC as "Demonstrably Inept"1997/05/08 Blue Catches Hell from Residents – Again 1997/09/09 Word-for-Word: Willard Warren 1998/02/07 Town Meeting Asks Ouster of Blue at RIOC 1998/02/09 RIRA President's Column 1998/04/18 Political Glue Keeping Blue in the Saddle 1998/09/26 Self-Governance on RIRA Ballot 1998/09/26 Vass Heading Drive for Democracy 1998/10/24 Island Observer: It's About Positioning 1998/05/15 Grannis to Talk Self-Governance at Town Meeting 1998/12/05 Grannis Sees Real Chance for Self Governance 1998/11/07 Three Views on Self-Governance 1998/11/07 As Election Day Neared, Jerry Blue Starred in Backstage Drama 1998/11/07 Self-Governance Wins Ballot Appeal by 92% 1998/12/19 Island Observer: The Other 8% 1998/12/19 Mendez to Back Self-Governance 1998/12/19 Richard Wade on the Mistakes of the RIOC Board 1998/12/13 RIRA Council Gives Fresh Backing for Self-Governance 1999/02/13 Editorial: Time to Fish or Cut Bait 1999/03/27 Editorial: The New Nature of Unity 1998/05/08 Stewart, Grannis, on Cable TV, on Self-Governance 1999/06/12 Creating a New Destiny for Roosevelt Island 1999/06/12 Self Governance Moving in Albany (a False Alarm) 1999/07/04 Robert Chira: Questions About Self-Governance 1999/07/04 Letters on Self-Governance 1999/07/04 Lee Edelman on the Risks in Self-Governance 1999/07/04 RIRA President's Column: Stewart Vehemently Opposed 1999/07/04 MTG's Movement and How It Got That Far 1999/07/09 Interview: David Kraut - Difficult Times Ahead 1999/09/11 Response to Richard Wade 1999/10/09 Grannis & Mendez Agree to Work Together on Self-Governance 1999/12/04 The Pacification of Roosevelt Island 2000/01/08 Grannis Releases New Version of Self-Governance Bill 2000/01/09 Memo: Pete Grannis to Olga Mendez 2000/02/05 Revised Legislation for Self-Governance 2000/0205 RIRA Council Splits on How RIOC Should Be Elected 2000/02/19 Editorial: On Electing RIOC Board Members 2000/02/19 Grannis & Mendez at Work on New Version of Bill 2000/02/19 Stewart Opposes Self-Governance, Then Backtracks 2000/02/05 Grannis & Mendez in Discussion of Self-Governance 2000/07/04 Editorial: On the Matter of Self-Governance 2000/09/09 Grannis-Mendez Feud Leaves Island in Limbo 2000/09/09 Katz Running for RIRA Presidency on Self-Governance Platform 2000/09/23 Editorial: Put Self-Governance Referendum on RIRA Ballot 2000/09/23 RIRA to Debate Advisory Referendum on Self-Governance 2000/10/21 Statements by Candidates for RIRA Offices 2000/10/21 RIRA Council Agrees to Referendum Question on Self-Governance 2000/10/21 Transcript: RIRA Council Debate on Self-Governance Referendum 2000/11/04 RIRA Candidates' Campaign Statements 2000/11/04 RIRA Candidates' Debate 2000/11/04 Editorial: For Self-Governance, Katz, Gaspard 2000/11/04 Analysis: Start Differences Between Candidates 2000/11/18 Katz and Gaspard Win Top RIRA Posts 2000/12/02 Editorial: Past Time for Self-Governance 2000/12/02 Leo Kayser Meeting with MTG 2000/12/02 Interview: Leo Kayser 2001/03/24 Discussion: Municipal Arts Society on Roosevelt Island 2001/04/07 Editorial: Again, Self-Governance 2001/04/07 Grannis Introduces Revised Self-Governance Bill 2001/07/28 Self-Governance Dead, Again, in Albany; But Pataki to Come 2001/08/25 Grannis Asks Hevesi to Audit RIOC Books 2001/11/03 John Dougherty on Residents' Lack of Power |
