Having done a story about election day two days after the November election one has to wonder why the Norwood News is doing a follow up story two months later in January when nothing about the election has changed. We have received calls that the Norwood News is planning to do a follow up story on the November election, the challenger, just two political clubs who endorsed him in the 80th Assembly District race against the Democratic incumbent, and who are endorsing candidates in the upcoming 11th and or 15th City Council Special Elections. One person we talked to has said this is a 'Political Hit Job', by a newspaper which is a non-profit 501C3 run by Montefiore Hospital.
What is being considered is a statement said by this Republican candidate on December 13th at a Rally for Small Businesses in the Bronx, and the endorsement by the two political clubs whose only involvement is the writer of this blog. I took the photograph of one of the political club leaders and the candidate which was published on this blog October 14th, 2020. As for the other political club, I resigned as the Vice-Chair of that political club at the beginning of 2020. I also covered the December 13th Rally for Small Businesses which no one from the two political clubs attended.
One has to wonder just who is behind this possible 'Political Hit Job' two months after the general election, when the political club of the 81st Assembly District held a 11th City Council Special Election Candidate's Forum for that political clubs endorsement. The forum was moderated by the club president and its previous district leader who both contributed to the clubs assemblyman's son who is a candidate in the 11th City Council. Aside from that the club under advice from its president said due to COVID-19 it was to dangerous to hold the annual club elections, but not to dangerous to hold an endorsement vote for the special election which he said would be held on March 9, 2021 with early voting to start on Saturday February 27th, two weeks before Judge-Elect Cohen was to resign from the city council.
There are a few suspects who may be behind this possible 'Political Hit Job' by the Norwood News. Suspect Number One, is Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz who is well aware that his son is not getting the endorsement of the two political clubs the Norwood News is investigating. Assemblyman Dinowitz has provided funding to Montefiore Hospital, and had a satellite office in the Mosholu Montefiore Community Center. Suspect Number Two, is 11th City Council candidate Marcos Sierra who fails to mention that he was a staff member of the Norwood News which the new editor Sele Mahoney may not be aware of. Candidate Sierra falsely claimed that this reporter was in on a non existent pay to play scheme for a political club endorsement of a club this reporter was never a member of, and candidate Sierra made what Assemblyman Dinowitz said was a racially charged statement to this reporter. Suspect Number Three is Assemblywoman Nathalia Fernandez who may be seeking revenge on the two political clubs that endorsed her opponent, and they should be endorsing one of her opponents in the upcoming Democratic Primary for Bronx Borough President. It has also come to light that Assemblywoman Fernandez may have been helping challenging District Leader candidate Marcos Sierra over her incumbent District Leader who is the Chief of Staff for Councilman Rafael Salamanca one of her main opponents in the Bronx BP race.
We will try to understand exactly why the editor of the Norwood News is passing over a relative story to the upcoming special election in the 11th City Council District, about a political club of Assemblyman Dinowitz whose son is a candidate in said special election, and who provided funding to the hospital that owns the 501C3 run Norwood News to do a story on a general election that happened two months ago, where none of the results has changed.
