City Council Speaker Christine Quinn visited the Hebrew Home for the Aged in Riverdale today. Along with the Speaker were local Councilman G, Oliver Koppell, and her father. This was Quinn's second visit to Riverdale as she visited the Riverdale YMHA nearby less than two weeks ago. Quinn gave a brief speech including a comment that even with the budget cuts that the city did not cut any funding to senior centers such as the one she was in.
The Speaker took a few questions, and asked her father to answer one about aging. Councilman Koppell helped on another that was a local community question. When asked if she was running for mayor Quinn did not say yes or no, just that she is thinking about it.
In a separate announcement a spokesman for the Hebrew Home said that the home had purchased the property next door known as the Cardinal Spellman Home to expand in the near future.
