In 2006, Mike Deluca, a resident and former board member at the Galaxy Tower, started a website, Galaxyfacts, after he came to feel that he had been denied the opportunity to voice his concerns at Galaxy Towers Condo Association (GTCA) board meetings regarding what he felt were the questionable backgrounds of partners in the company doing proposed renovations to the Towers. Deluca, who opposed the GTCA Board, quickly gained supporters with the site, which focuses on various local lawsuits, conflicts and other issues. In 2004, Deluca had formed the Concerned Unit Owners Group (CUOG), whose members met in an online Yahoo! chat room to voice their concerns. The chat room, however, was shut down after the board hired an attorney, who successfully convinced Yahoo! that it violated their terms of service. After creating Galaxyfacts, he added a message board to be used by former CUOG members. In 2007 Deluca organized a successful petition calling for the recall of three of nine board members. The recall was successful, and following an election, two of Deluca's allies, including current GTCA Board President Slava Lerner, were voted in. However, Deluca found that many of the problems with the former board only worsened when his allies took power, as the new members he helped get elected continued to "shut him out". Deluca successfully ran for the board in 2008, and remained on the board for a year. Despite this, he continued to feel that his points of view were not being heard, and quit to focus on Galaxyfacts. After five years, Galaxyfacts grew into a thriving message board, visited mainly by residents of the Towers, though both the website and the board have their supporters. Among the issues discussed on the site are the August 2011 laying off of 60 unionized, long-time Galaxy employees due to outsourcing, the October 2011 approval of condominiums near a local gas pipeline by the Hudson County Planning Board, and a racial discrimination lawsuit filed against the GTCA by two employees of the Galaxy's spa.
