This Council and its Speaker are so moribund. She has totally surrendered to Bloomberg. Her position on lobbying dollars is such bull. When she was on Brian Lehrer recently she could have taken on the sole source issue, as it ties to lobbying, bundling, etc. But, she ducked on it. She is Bloomberg's girl; and, just like Bush dominated the House and Senate, getting what he wanted for 6 years, Bloomberg intends to dominate the Council for his second term. How can it be that Crowley continues to let the Queens delegation acquiesce to Quinn's toadying to Bloomberg? Is it possible that Bloomie is spreading his largesse into County Dem coffers? Or, as is his want, through charitable connections?
In this regard, it is time then to ask what has become of the Voice's investigative reporting staff? Is this not all grist for the mill of Wayne and Tom?
