National Night Out in the 50th Precinct

  National Night out in the 50th Precinct may not of had the local elected officials that came out last year, but hundreds of people (mostly children) came out to enjoy the night out that took place on Marble Hill Avenue Between West 225th and West 230th Streets. On hand was State Senator Guistavo Rivera who is still expecting a tough primary as he said, but he also said we will know Thursday if the challenge against his opponent Councilman Fernando Cabrera has been successful in getting Cabrera knocked off the ballot. Senator Rivera mentioned that several dead bodies were believed to be on the Cabrera petition, and that with other questionable items may allow him not to have a primary, but he said we will have to wait until Thursday to find out. Senator Rivera also mentioned that a planned debate on Bronxtalk would be cancelled if he has no primary.  

  Staffers from Councilman Andrew Cohen, Councilman Ydanis Rodriguez, Congressman Eliot Engel, and also on hand was former Councilman and candidate for the 34th State Senate Oliver Koppell as you will see in the photos below.
