Speaker Christine Quinn to investigate the April 2nd City Council vote 
on the construction of a High School on the corner of 57th Avenue and 
74th Street in Maspeth. Robert Holden, president of the JPCA , said that 
council members were not given vital information that could have

Council Member Elizabeth Crowley, Community Board 5, the Community
