From the NY Times:Jimmy Van Bramer, one of 13 new members elected in November to the New York City Council, lives a few blocks away from 47-01 Queens Boulevard in Woodside, where his predecessor, Eric N. Gioia, kept an office for the past eight years. Mr. Van Bramer, 40, a former Queens Borough Public Library official, decided to keep the place, Suite No. 203. Mr. Gioia left Mr. Van Bramer a welcome note in the drawer of the big desk, along with this advice: Lock the windows and doors. The office had been broken into twice (burglars, not political operatives). The first time, the computers were stolen, which was problematic, Mr. Gioia said, because as chairman of the Council’s Oversight and Investigations Committee, he had some sensitive information on those hard drives.
Yes, because he oversaw so many successful investigations while on the Council...
Mr. Gioia, 36, who ran unsuccessfully in the Democratic primary for public advocate, will now put his political prowess and connections to work as a bank executive.Rather appropriate that for the last photo of the Doorman in office he was photographed opening/closing a door, dontcha think?

Van Bremer wil be worse than goia.
This guy has a chance to do some good but he is getting off on the wrong foot - photos already with the Doormans's tweeded groups ... dodgy about showing up with certain groups and missing others .... nd under the watchful eye of a certain local hack might be ok ....
for the first month.

We are watching Jimmy, we are watching ....
Maybe Van Bremer will actually do something for Americans who live in Woodside unlike Eric
Van Bremer wil be worse than goia.
why do you say that?
Taylor? Gianaris? Stamatiades?
Jimmy has ties with Acorn and a record of pandering. This guy said whatever was necessary to get elected. He's also gay if that means anything to you. (it doesn't to me)
Van Bramer will do exactly what Goia tried unsuccessfully to do: work the system to get into the state assembly, state senate, house of representatives, or an associate- or deputy- secretary appointment in Obama's cabinet. The 8-year clock has started to tick and there's no time to waste.
Well one thing is certain. We are 2 months into the 6 month clock which has already started to tick, and he is getting a bit choosy in who he does not show up to, and who he does take pictures with.
And he has started out on a bad foot.
Disappointing. He has about 4 months to change before we face Doorman II.
