Give Taxi Drivers Some Space

Dear Source:

The taxi drivers at Red Hook gave up their depot so a new marine terminal could be built. Now all they have is a table in the sun. Beautiful trees were needlessly cut down. The least the government can do is give them a little piece of the porch they are not using on the new terminal. The razor wire, which is so gross, can be moved back to give them a little space to play dominoes while they wait for the next fare. These gentlemen are our first contact for many tourists. They have sacrificed much for the benefit of the community. We need to support them.
