0Recently released documents from a F.O.I.L on Bronx Community Board 11 - (who deleted our original posts on the Bronx Community Board 11 Official Facebook Page in a sad and illegal attempt to silence us and is now trying to de-certify it (the facebook group page) in an attempt to cover it up as this has possibly opened the board up to litigation and numerous "First Amendment Rights" Violations) - possibly show board member Bernadette Ferrara using her spot on the board to promote her own private interests - including backdoor meetings and communications with the Van Nest Neighborhood Alliance.
Possibly breaking these parts of Chapter 68 of The NYC Charter
