Musical chairs in southeast Queens

From City Hall:

Queens Councilman Leroy Comrie’s anemic fundraising – he has raised less than $400 for his 2013 account – has put something of a damper on his otherwise strong prospects of winning election as Queens borough president. Comrie could well be up against Councilman Peter Vallone Jr., who has raised $830,000, or even possibly against former Councilwoman Melinda Katz, herself a strong fundraiser. That has led to speculation in southeast Queens that Comrie could instead trade seats with state Sen. Malcolm Smith, with Smith running for Comrie’s Council seat, and Comrie then taking Smith’s Senate seat in a special election.

No way smith gives up his seniority, leadership post, and no term limits position for a 'part-time' council seat without a guaranteed leadership post.

Definition of Tenderloin District from Wikipedia:

Police Captain Andrew S. "Clubber" Williams gave the area its name in 1876, when he was transferred to a police precinct in the heart of the district.

Referring to the increased payoffs he would get for police protection of both legitimate and illegitimate businesses there, especially the many brothels, Williams said

"I've been having chuck steak ever since I've been on the force, and now I'm going to have a bit of tenderloin."
