Daneek, Danny and Paulie V. are "slugs" for keeping lulu cash

From the Daily News:

By law, the standard salary for a member is $112,500. But the Council gets around the limit by awarding lulus, supposedly for “extra” work on committees.

All told, 47 of the 51 members get the additional dough, ranging from $5,000 for those with little clout or seniority to $25,000 for Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito.

Who gets what is determined by the speaker, empowering her to reward friends, punish enemies and buy obedience. Independent lawmaking goes out the window.

Which is why every member of the U.S. Congress, from minority-party freshmen backbenchers to the most senior committee chairmen, gets the same salary. Not so in the Council. There, most take the money and run.

...12 members keep the cash, including six who had pledged to restrict lulus. The slugs are Corey Johnson and Ydanis Rodriguez of Manhattan, Daneek Miller, Danny Dromm and Paul Vallone of Queens and Vinny Gentile of Brooklyn.

Their word is worthless.

Stinky needs the lulu to shine his head.

There's a vehicle with commercial plates that has been parking overnight, about a half-block from Stinky's house. Maybe they're one of his campaign contributors.

Hey, Don Chooch, are you still coasting on the family reputation by hanging onto daddy's coat tails? This finnicio cannot make it on his own, for sure!

At least Il Duce made the trains run on time. Remember what the Italians did to Benito and his mistress. No need for that. Dump him at the polls.

Except for Curtis Sliwa, I wouldn't go after any spouse.

Looks like Don Paulo screwed the pooch too. But the pooch , like his constituents, looks unsatisfied. Hey, goombah, there is a penalty for premature withdrawal and bad performance.

His wife is actually very attractive. I know her personally. She is also very kind. Keep wives out of it. Stick to the politics.

Notice how those St. Andrews wives all stick together defending themselves. Wives of politicians are always fair game milady. Maybe Don Paulo will take to the stage with the Andrean Players. He certainly uses the church, just like his dad did, to further his political performances.
