From the Daily News:The City Council convenes in January with a fresh crop of members and a two-thirds majority that has called for eliminating bonus pay for being good little boys and girls.
Seventeen incoming freshman pledged to bar lulus, while 17 incumbents have done so. Total: 34 out of 51 members, well more than necessary to enact a prohibition.
But let us not count our chickens. Thirteen of those incumbents have dodged by accepting lulus they profess to oppose — and reporting that they have given the money to charity. This allows them to say they don’t pocket the stipends while reaping the political benefits of charitable giving.
These 13 are: Rosie Mendez of Manhattan; Fernando Cabrera of the Bronx; Debi Rose of Staten Island; Mathieu Eugene, David Greenfield, Steve Levin and Darlene Mealy of Brooklyn; and Julissa Ferreras, Peter Koo, Karen Koslowitz, Eric Ulrich, Jimmy Van Bramer and Ruben Wills of Queens. Incumbent Danny Dromm, of Queens, says he is against lulus but keeps the money, asserting that he wants them eliminated, but not individually.

Karen Koslowitz too???
Isn't Koslowitz also receiving retirement pay from her years as Councilmember 1991-2001, and her years as Deputy BP?
Not going to happen, they will be good little democrats and prepare to be co-opted and corrupted, they may want to do good, but they will see it's to their advantage to do well
I would suggest that New Yorkers keep this list of 13 dodgers so next time they go to the polls they vote their phony ases out of office. All Democrats too!

Jimmy Van Bramer--now there's a real lulu for you--as phony as a 3 dollar bill--trying to pass himself off as a man who cares.
Jimmy cares only about mounting the next step up his political ladder. Support over development-- way to go, Jimmy. Get more developer dollars for running campaigns.
FYI:
The rats, posing a great health hazard, are still running wild at your donor Jerry Wolkoff's 5 Pointz site, Councilman Jimmy.
Have your COS take note that I contacted your office months ago about the problem--certified return receipt mail.
Shall I forward the receipt to Queens Crap?
