Ann Corre in hot water Oct 2007

October24, 2007
Dear Fellow Cooperators,
We all agree that individual cooperators can express, publicly or privately, any opinion or questions they have about the transference of EMP from a Mitchell-Lama to a private cooperative. According to the October "New EMP News," Anne Corre has done that and has expressed her own views toHPD.
Although the "News" lumps Anne Corre with other pro-Mitchell-Lama cooperators, she does not represent or speak for our organization, the EMP-MLO. As we have often revealed, the organization's Steering Committee is opposed to any actions that would jeopardize the security of resident shareholders. We have not and will not approve, condone, encourage or applaud any action that could result in a current resident shareholder being forced to leave EMP or move "down" to a smaller apartment. This past summer, we hosted an open meeting and also provided you with a letter from HPD to bring you HPD's assurances that residents who entered under the usual guidelines of income limitation and family size would never be and have nevef been evicted from Mitchell-Lama housing or forced to down-size their home. **
The EMP-MLO has one task only, and that is to inform you of what the privatization proponents have not told you: the advantages of staying in the Mitchell-Lama program if you intend to continue living here. The Board and the Study Group are denying the high cost of living here as a private cooperative, and they are concealing that prospect behind large-print insults directed toward pro-Mitchell- Lama cooperators.
If you want to know what Anne Corre wrote to HPD and why, you'll have to ask her personally.
-* . ¦ Meanwhile, be assured that actions such as those ascribed to Anne Corre by the Study Group do not
represent the goals and standards of the EMP-MLO. We denounce such actions - by anyone - because they are inconsistent with our principles.
