100 PERCENT

Happy Holidays
The headline says it best as we wish all a Happy Holiday. There is one piece of get better soon, to the former 'Dancing District Leader' who now has become the former 'Dancing State Committeeman'. No Kenny Agosto was not voted out of his position, but in celebrating a little to much (as Kenny sometimes does) he has sprained one his ankles, and must stay off that foot for a while. We wish Kenny a speedy recovery so he can get back out in the district that he loves to serve.
In the now Annual Ugly Sweater contest at the Bronx Democratic County Holiday Party (I was unable to attend due to other matters), it seems from the photos that I have seen Bronx Democratic County Leader Assemblyman Marcos Crespo was a hands down winner. That was not because he is the county leader, but that his sweater was really ugly, did not fit (but then again Marcos may have put a few pounds on again), and the only thing missing was a polka dot bow tie to match Crespo's outfit. Congrats to the Assemblyman Crespo.
Speaking of Bow Ties, it seems that the City Council is investigating a claim of sexual harassment charge against the Bow Tie wearing fashionable Bronx City Councilman Andy King by a council staffer. The City Council Standards and Ethics Committee met Friday behind closed doors, but no details of the meeting or any names were released as of now. Councilman King is being accused of inappropriate comments, and would not comment on the matter since it is under investigation by the council Standards and Ethics Committee. Just Thursday morning Councilman King was in Riverdale, for the Annual Bronx Menorah lighting. His wife dropped him off for the event.
So what are bike lanes for? According to one Brooklyn Elected official they are for people like him to use when the road dieted street he is traveling on backs up. Brooklyn State Senator Martin Golden is being accused of that, and while his license plate has been run it seems that there may be three unpaid violations on the car including one for speeding in a school zone, another speeding ticket, and an unpaid ticket by a muni meter. Police are not investigating the bike lane incident because the bike rider in the lane has not filed a complaint. Just who was the bike rider? A transit advocate and member of Brooklyn Community Board #2's Transportation Committee.
Next week a look ahead to 2018, and what's at stake.
