Thanks for getting the quotes from D...Great piece! Thanks for getting the quotes from Diaz. The guy just reveals how bad a leader he really is. He supported a pro-landlord bill out of "friendship" for the corrupt Espada. It was not that it was a good bill for his constituents, not that it was good policy. He can't even claim that he traded his vote for something good for his constituents -- nope -- he simply wanted to support his good friend Pedro Espada. <br /><br />The man is either clueless (had no idea what he supported last year) or he is a hypocrite (or both). The best chance we had to avoid the situation we are in with rent laws was to renew and strengthen the laws in the last session when the Democrats controlled the Assembly and the Senate. The Assembly passed a great, pro-tenant bill. Pedro Espada and his good friend and ally, Rev. Diaz blocked any chance of that bill seeing the light of day in the Senate. What chutzpah for Diaz now to complain about the mayor and Quinn. <br /><br />Clueless or hypocrite or both, it is time for the people of the Bronx to oust Diaz like they ousted his good friend.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17544110001798264698noreply@blogger.com
