From Urbanite:The five BPs in the city got together at Junior’s restaurant for a summit to discuss “keeping or doing away with term limits, the City budget, mayoral control over public schools and budget cuts at the Department for the Aging (DFTA).
Other topics on the agenda:

- New techniques in supermarket ribbon cutting
- How to intimidate a community board
- Cheerleading for unpopular megadevelopment projects
- Ways to hollow out neighborhoods without folks noticing
- Political patronage job creation
- Shutting people up via discretionary funding
- So little to do, so much time
- Donald Manes: As bad as they say or just misunderstood?

over the hill, overweight, underachievers.
How is it I live in Queens and can still find both Manhattan Beep Scott Stringer and Brooklyn Beep Marty Markowitz two of the most annoying and obnoxious elected officials in the 5 boroughs?
Who is paying for this dinner? Why cant they eat sandwiches from a deli to discuss WORK- I am sure they are not getting together as friends over dinner.
Taxpayer money from appetizer to dessert. NICE!!!!
Dump the position of Beep.
It's totally unnecessary!
I can do a better job handing out high paying patronage appointments
and collecting bribes from the builders!
Look at where the "elite" meet to eat...in Brooklyn.
They wouldn't risk eating any vibrant/colorful mystery meat in
Councilman Liu's district!
They should have rolled a stink bomb under the table!
you forgot the most important issue on the agenda.
How many calories are in the cherry cheese cake? Or should I just have the plain cheese cake?
any flies on the wall to tell us how they tipped ?
government waste
Fat jokes. The level of discourse from the "people" never fails to amaze.
Whoa these guys must be getting ready for some big job.
Which one is Don Cheech ?
As a Brooklyn resident, all I can say is take my Borough President.....please!!!!!!
And considering it's Junior's, you could probably roll a stink bomb in there and not know the difference.
Extra pounds on one's exterior indicates a penchant for over consumption in a greedy relentless pursuit of political power.
Hence, corruption and "fat" references usually go together
like meat and potatoes!
How many anorexic pols can you name that would constitute a majority?
Have you ever eaten in Junior's? Second-rate diner food.
