RIP Senator Onorato

From the Queens Gazette:

Lifelong Queens resident and former state Senator George Onorato, who served the 12th Senate District in western Queens for over two decades, died on Saturday. He was 86.

Onorato began serving the district, which encompasses Astoria, Long Island City, Sunnyside and parts of Woodside and Maspeth, in 1983 until he announced his retirement in 2010. He was succeeded by state Senator Michael Gianaris, who currently holds the position.

What about the Stavisky dynasty? They have been stealing for years and have yet to be caught at it. That is the smartest bunch of crooks in the borough.
