At the Queens Community Board 5 meeting on Oct. 8, Phil Wong, a Democratic City Council candidate and the budget director for Council Member Robert Holden, took to the mic to accuse other council members of receiving yearly donations of $5,000 from a nonprofit to stall legislation.
During the meeting, Wong said Transportation Alternatives, a nonprofit focused on urban-planning and reducing reliance on cars, is lobbying city council members to lay over Intro. 606.
