Helen Sears ignores the needs of immigrant constituents in the "melting pot" of Queens: Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, East Elmhurst, Rego Park, Woodside, and Corona. She's also suspiciously silent about the homophobic smear campaign being waged against one of her opponents.
... In 2008 [Helen Sears] voted to overturn term limits-no surprise that she herself was term-limited at that point. None of the other Council members who voted for it however complained that the opposition voices against it (namely the population at large) were “intimidating” her.
"I don't think my office has ever been so threatened, I don't think my phones have ever been so tied up” (AFP, 10/23/2008). One hopes that calls to one’s Councilperson’s office in support of twice-affirmed term limits will not be interpreted as “threats,” but clearly Ms. Sears feels differently.
