Councilman Mark Treyger loves to post selfies and updates on social media so it was ironic that he didn’t mention that he was going on Catsimatidis radio show this weekend (no mention on Treyger’s twitter or Facebook page). The Cats Round Table radio show is on 970 AM and their page provided a small blurb about Treyger and […]

Pam Harris finally opened an office in Bay Ridge yesterday. It’s six months after we elected her (and 8 month after she told the King Country Politics blog she opened an office in Bay Ridge). The problem with this is that we paid the rent for a closed office all these months. See my […]

Monday, May 2nd, 2016What I Learned About Politics from Councilman Mark Treyger
When Mark Treyger was elected to the NYC Council, I was very happy. Treyger was a NYC teacher and although I didn’t know personally, I knew of him. Councilman Treyger began his term and I smiled at every story which included his name and picture. I even told him he was meant to do […]
