Green Gioia Joined By Gore Child

Councilman Eric Gioia is throwing a "give what you can" fund-raiser birthday party with his "good friend, author and activist Karenna Gore Schiff," also the daughter of Al Gore.

Part of the (painfully?) colorful invitation that isn't picture here says, "We are proud to go green. The Gioia campaign is the first carbon neutral campaign in NYC history."

Gioia is rumored to be considering a run for public advocate. He's one of the better-funded likely candidates in a race that, so far, is not particularly crowded.
