Gee, Paul Vallone should have told them about his family history in politics.

Maybe he didn't tell them he was going to reclaim and respect.

So, our prior councilman is going to the clink and now our new councilman got 2nd worst appointment in city council. Another great year for district 19.

I thought that they had all pledged not to accept any additional "lulus" pay for chairing committees. Did they renege on their pledge?

Someone is backing the little elf - perhaps donations were made by his developer friends.

Well our work is cut out for us - lets see if we can derail his career - we have 4 years to do it.

Stonewall must fall!

Be nice to see a list of lulus along with committees.

The Daily News (Print edition) lists the lulus, ranging from $15K to $5K.

According to the Daily News, "Councilman Paul Vallone (D-Queens), the new Senior Centers chairman, plans to keep his $8,000 stipend, a spokesman said Wednesday."

During the campaign, didn't Paulie say that he would refuse any lulus?

Anywhere Ms. Mark-Viverito goes, a peculiar smell will emanate. Until she is revealed by hard evidence to be a first class crook of the worst kind.
