When you have the Governor, Attorney General, Assembly Speaker, City Comptroller, Public Advocate, almost every Bronx elected official, and hundreds of people also in attendance you know that the county dinner was a huge success. Executive Director of the BDCC Mr. Anthony Perez was the host for the dinner, and he moved the program along magnificently that it seemed that the speeches by the elected officials were short and concise. The only person missing would have been the presumed Democratic nominee for President Hillary Clinton. There was a message from Washington however from Honoree Congressman Eliot Engel who could not attend since congress was still in session. The pjotos below should tell the rest of the story.
