From the NY Post:The City Council is spending more than $12,000 to fund an upstate “dance party” for black and Hispanic lawmakers — a move critics blast as a schmoozy waste of taxpayer money.
“I don’t see how we can justify spending $25,000 when each year in our budget battles we’re fighting about firehouse and library closures,” said Queens Councilman Dan Halloran, a Republican. “A caucus event is not the appropriate place to spend city money.”
In the last two years, the City Council has allocated a total of $25,000 for festivities connected with the New York State Association of Black and Puerto Rican Legislators’ conference, city records revealed.
A spokesman for Council Speaker Christine Quinn defended the allocations.
“This is an event that’s been going on for years,” said the spokesman, Jamie McShane.

So it's been going on for years.. that doesn't make it right
"YOU" morons voting for these crooks has been going on for years.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AN HONEST and/or COMPETENT POLITICIAN.
You are the best person to manage your life.
"Going on for years?" That doesn't make it right. Gay marriage has no basis in history and Quinn rammed that legislation through. That redhead has a slush fund scandal on her resume too. We shouldn't forget.
That's one way to cull the Black and Hispanic vote for Quinn...Bloomberg's desired successor.
so when you exclude white people, its not racist?
What if they had a 'white dance'? What would the news coverage of that be???
