Hospital Protesters Hound Christine Quinn
New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn continues to suffer the presence of activists, who protest her apparent conflict of interest in approving the Rudin Family's billion-dollar luxury condo and townhouse complex plan for St. Vincent's Hospital.
In an apparent conflict of interest, Beth R. DeWoody, Madeleine R. Johnson, Eric C. Rudin, Jack Rudin, Katherine Rudin, and William C. Rudin each donated $4,950 to Christine Quinn's presumed 2013 mayoral campaign. During this time, the Rudin family has been trying to salvage a multi-million dollar real estate purchase of the buildings that belong to the bankruptcy estate of St. Vincent's Hospital. Since the Rudin family wants to build luxury high-rise condos on the site of St. Vincent's, do these large campaign donations explain why Speaker Quinn has done nothing to restore a hospital to the former St. Vincent's site ?
