History, shmistory; We need support

To The Editor:
Re “Quinn on the Spot” (editorial, April 3):
That, as you point out, Christine Quinn is a potentially history-making figure has nothing to do with whether or not she should be mayor. The last thing we need in our beloved Village is the making of history. We need the making of fair and decent decisions on issues intimately affecting all Villagers, such as the loss of St. Vincent’s Hospital or the continued avaricious expansion of New York University at the expense of longstanding Village neighborhoods.

Moreover, Quinn’s outrageous support for Bloomberg’s third-term bid as mayor in contravention of the two-term limit is exactly the kind of history-making we Villagers don’t need.
