The Queens Tribune reports that in exchange for guaranteed support to Councilwoman Mellissa Mark-Viverito for speaker that several Queens council members have been promised key City Council committee positions.
The Tribune writes that Councilwoman Julissa Ferraras (East Elmhurst) would be named Majority Leader, Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer (Woodside) would be named Finance Committee Chair, and that Councilman Daniel Dromm (Jackson Heights) would be the new Education Chair. Two other Queens Councilmen Daneek Miller and Donovan Richards have been promised undisclosed committee chairs. The Tribune even has Republican Eric Ulrich (Ozone Park) promised a chair of a committee if he supports Mark Viverito for Speaker.
The Tribune also says that Brooklyn Councilman David Greenfield has been offered the Land Use Committee to help sway the rest of Brooklyn to support Mark-Viverito. While the Tribyne says that the speaker's selection is not in the bag yet, and that there could be a surprise when the vote comes on January 8th. The full Queens Tribune article can be found here.
