There's a 2013 election article for the NYC Council, but neither a 2009 nor a 2017 one. I was a bit disappointed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brooklyn's 44 district race was largely about local issues. Hikind didn't make much in way of statements on Citywide issues I more or less guessed on the Liberal and Women's equality party platforms (they're very minor parties) 1 hour ago, Patine said: -Party colours: Reform should be purple, Independence light yellow, Women's Equality light-green, and Liberal, while I'm having a difficult time find a definitive colour tied to them, I'm pretty sure it's not grey. Will do. I'm keeping the liberals the same for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of issues relating to simulation results in those districts becoming too unrealistic because too many parties are investing too much money in those districts.

I thought Brooklyn residents traditionally complained of a lack of investment in their borough, compared to Manhattan, Queens, and the Bronx, but probably more than Staten Island - but I guess that would refer to infrastructure, social projects, new business ventures, and other day-to-day improvements, both by public and private money, not election ads and campaigning.

Lyly Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I'd love to fix the scaling issues on the party images, if you'd let me! I'm poking around right now, though I don't know much about the race itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
