With all due respect to all the candidates, the older folks need to step aside and let some new blood in - -Brian (or some other) young person. With all the experience that some of the current council members have they still seems to lack one very important quality- ETHICS. Take, for example, in Queens we had a person who was accused to harassing and assaulting her employees and speaking to individuals any way her/or she felt. In Brooklyn, we have some money hungry folks. In Manhattan, we reportedly have a not-for profit that went from getting a very small amount of funds to getting hundreds of thousands of dollars in aid almost overnight. And, the list goes on. Ok folks, it's time for things for the YOUNG FOLKS to BREATH... I thought that's what you (older) folks want us to do anyway. STOP holding on. It does not matter if a person title is executive director, community relations,legislative aid, clerk.... it does not determine the quality of leadership and renewed sprint that the counil needs. In fact, today, many council members some unqualified employees working for them - -be it chief of staff or intern. Understand me clearly, the title of a person current position means NOTHING!. Either way, I wish all person the best!!
