New York, NY. August 16, 2009. Below is a clip from the debate last Thursday at NYU for the 3rd City Council District in which Yetta Kurland running to unseat Christine Quinn outlined her vision for the 3rd District.

"Its time for change in City government" said Yetta Kurland. In the debate last Thursday, Yetta contrasted her vision for the 3rd District with the record of Chritine Quinn on the issues of term limits, affordable housing, education, the hudson square development and civil rights.

"The erosion of our civil liberties is central issue to why I'm running" stated Kurland who pledged to repeal the current administration's decision curtailing First Ammendment Rights of New Yokers to peacefully assemble.

On the issues of development Kurland summarized that "Development should not be something that diplaces our community it should be something that enriches our community, it should create schools and libraries, and I will make sure that happens."
