The difference between us and the Fairness Coalition

This week's Times Ledger newspaper offers a look at where the park groups stand on development of Flushing Meadows:

• MLS is staying mum about many details of the project, which is what makes groups like the Fairness Coalition believe there are too many unanswered questions associated with the proposal to make it viable — such as who the owner would be and if the team will even make money, hardly a guarantee for an MLS franchise, according to Will Sweeney, who is involved with the coalition.
• Sweeney described the group of civic organizations as pro-park but not necessarily anti-development.
  

In our opinion, in order to be pro-park, you must be anti-development.

• In recent weeks, another group has emerged that is opposed to any commercial activity in the borough's largest greenspace.
• Save Flushing Meadows Corona Park, like the Fairness Coalition, has been endorsed by the Queens Civic Congress.
• This group, led by members of the community, including Al Centola, of the Malba Gardens Civic Association, and Geoffrey Croft, of New York City Park Advocates, contends that parkland is sacred, protected by law, and should be free from development by corporations.
  

And that's the difference between Save FMCP and the Fairness Coalition.
