News from Queens:
Cuomo hits Bloomie's pet with civil fraud case...it's about time! The level of corruption within the Bloomberg administration may not be up to Louisiana or Chicago standards, but it is still a problem...more: Cuomo: Rattner Is ‘Worst Example’ Of Pay-To-Play Fraud...I have a long memory. I remembre Steve Rattner was also a major donor to my former City Council member with high ambition, David Yassky.

fiscally-responsible and socially-progressive candidates win elections
at all levels of government. We develop innovative ways to advocate for
the issues that matter to our members and promote legislation which has
a positive effect in our communities. We engage people in the political
process and give them the tools to organize, communicate, mobilize, and
enact change on the local, state, and national level.

DRINKING LIBERALLY IN QUEENS:
An informal, inclusive progressive social group. Raise your spirits
while you raise your glass, and share ideas while you share a pitcher.
Drinking Liberally gives like-minded, left-leaning individuals a place
to talk politics. You don't need to be a policy expert and this isn't a
book club - just come and learn from peers, trade jokes, vent
frustration and hang out in an environment where it's not taboo to talk
politics.
