Queens City Councilman Mark Weprin is resigning the seat he’s held since 2010 to take a job with Gov. Cuomo, the Daily News has learned.
Weprin will be paid about $150,000 a year to serve as Cuomo’s deputy secretary of legislative affairs, which will make him the administration’s conduit to the Legislature, City Council and possibly federal officials.
Weprin was well liked during his 15 years serving as a Democrat in the state Assembly, and his hiring is a signal that Cuomo is looking to improve his frayed relationship with the state Legislature.
The ink isn't even dry on the resignation letter, and the pigs have already lined up at the trough. Odds are county will go with Grodenchik.

No big loss.
I agree , No big loss
Weprin did NOTHING for the people he served.
Hopefully, our next Council member will work more for the community he represents.Instead of watching movies or playing with the pets in the park.
Good!! Useless POS.
The brothers Weprin, useless phony lying self-serving politicians.
Weprin is a useless hack.
Council members are term-limited. He was dead-man-walking in any case.
It does not matter...Whomever County chooses will get elected, and will do and vote as he is told by County.
I got tired of looking at that old piece of carpet on top of his head anyway....
Just like their father Saul Weprin.
Cuomo is one step a head of being indicted.
Not to worry. He will be replaced by another hack soon.

Dude its 10:25 in the am. How can you be drunk and high so early?
Their job is to line their pockets, not work for the community.
Yes Markie, join forces with Cuomo the governor soon to be indicted...
Grodenchik, oh brother we are in for it now
It's All in the Family with Queens politics. Sickening!
THRILLED to see this loser go...

I agree,I'm still trying to figure out how introducing legislation for youth hostels or supporting congestion pricing benefits his district.
Another political leach that refuses to go away.
Wow,never knew it was a rug.

Its the payoffs from the special interests and their cronies.
They are NYC politicians. They don't pretend to benefit their district, only themselves!
Here in NYC you can run unopposed and still get matching funds! YAY!!
Grodenchik...lackluster , ego driven, boring, follows county's orders, works (???) and plays well with other hacks, dull witted, sharp enough for civil service, loathsome sloth.
In other words, makes Mark Weprin look good.
Looks like a toad with a load in his diapers.
Best news I heard all effen year. Better yet send this no talent hack moron to ISIS.
Total dickweed. Can't wait until he's gone and we can get real representation.
Paul Graziano where are you when we need you?

Wrong district - Paul G. is in the 19th Council District and, unlike the rest of those opportunistic parasites we call politicians, he wouldn't move from his neighborhood just to run for office.
Notice how all the white males in Boro Hall all look like clones of Barry.
I swear there are cobwebs on these steps since the 1980s. There is absolutely no pride or ideas in that building. The perfect example of the brain dead spirit of those who rule our lives.
Still think it would make the perfect Water Authority or Turnpike Commission building for a place like Harrisburg.
I really do think that we have to start to stir up the people to stop this process of being denied the opportunity for choice, debate, and dialogue.
For someone to do this is arrogance and exhibits a naked contempt for the people whose lives are effected by this.
We need to go after this and those who participate in the naked hijacking of the democratic process and start the effort to make machine politics illegal.
Now his brother David is considering running for the seat.
Anon 18, your right on point!
