	The Rockaway Irregular by Stuart W. Mirsky
		Bad news folks: John Baxter, Rockaway’s Independence Party leader, reports that his operatives have now confirmed that the Rockaway City charter, passed in 1914 and again in 1917 by the state legislature in Albany, which broke the peninsula off from New York City as a separate municipality, was definitively rejected by then-mayor John Purroy Mitchel.
		Apparently Mayor Mitchel did not acquiesce, in spite of a majority of Rockawayites being in favor of this in those days, and so the charter is now a moot issue.
		The Secession Feasibility Study that John Baxter’s group was pursuing would have gotten directly at this by determining what exactly New York City really pays to "keep" us, what it should reasonably cost (without all the waste and excess built into the current bureaucracy) and whether we could actually do better as a stand-alone concern.
