“Voters have long memories and will remember those elected officials that knowingly disregarded the will of New Yorkers in 2008 [on term limits].”

“Council Speaker Christine Quinn’s decision to schedule a hearing on the paid sick days bill only inflamed one” of her rivals [Bill deBlasio] who accused her of lacking the “guts” to allow a vote on the measure.”

“Christine Quinn, an early favorite in polls who is seen as Bloomberg’s closest ally, received the chilliest reception of the night. Her stump speech drew booing, led by Donny Moss, an activist who is one of Quinn’s fiercest detractors.”

“Quinn is expected to approve new maps that would . . . put him [Vito Lopez] in position to cruise to a seat on the [city] council if he runs next year. Female employees say he created an ‘atmosphere of intimidation’ in his offices, berating and threatening them — and often groping and kissing them against their will. So, will Quinn stand by the principles she’s endorsed, and block the creation of a special Vito district — or will she allow the disgraced lech Lopez to vault himself into the City Council [in exchange for his endorsement]?”

“Christine Quinn, who wants to be the first female mayor of New York, is expected to give her blessing to a district change that would help the political career of Vito Lopez — who is accused of sexually harassing four female staffers. The redistricting could help elect the alleged lecher to the City Council. In return, Quinn would curry favor with what’s left of Lopez’s Brooklyn political machine for her mayoral campaign.”
