Unrelated, the more time I spend in this county, the less I like the exec: McLaughlin created a $60k finance job for a convicted unemployment benefit fraudster. Guy's surrounding himself with the best people. Guess he's milking the public purse as much as he can before the Federal indictment comes through.

Anyone hear why Van Bremer dropped out of the QBP race? All I’m seeing is “family reasons”.

I'm gonna start this off by saying if any Brooklyn goons have considered running for the Brooklyn Democratic Committee, this is the time to do it. I mean, it always is, but early this week, things got more urgent. I apologize for the lack of links because this hasn't gotten reported on and the New Kings Democrats and the Rep Your Block campaign haven't yet commented on things, but they're working on it. Frank Seddio officially stepped down as the Brooklyn party boss on Wednesday, as he had been dogged by mismanagement of party funds and a lawsuit from Golden Corral suing him for $3 million. But before he went, he picked Rodneyse Bichotte as his successor. Bichotte is the assemblymember and female district leader for the 42nd AD (Flatbush, Midwood, Ditmas Park), as well as the first Haitian-American elected to state office. She also spent the better part of 2019 kissing Seddio's rear end and being visibly angry about Jumaane Williams. That last bit was seemingly odd because she began the year as one of his campaign chairs for the public advocate special election. Looking back, the reason becomes more clear. She was elected handily by the district leaders. Shady enough so far, but it gets worse. Around that time, those same district leaders voted to kneecap the power of the county committee. First of all, they canceled the February meeting and it's not clear if it'll even be rescheduled. Bi-annual meetings was one of the concessions Seddio made to the county committee insurgents, even if they did tend to be out of range from the subway. On top of that, they banned the proposal of resolutions related to party management and concerns from the County Committee at meetings. In other words, we now can't discuss a significant part of party business at a meeting meant to discuss party business. As far as I know, this was either unanimous or passed without any "no" votes but with at least an abstention. It also doesn't look like Bichotte is going to improve on Seddio's fiscal stupidity. According to a county committee member I spoke to in the 43rd AD, she's already hired a PR firm with connections to Bill de Blasio as a recruitment drive to counter the Rep Your Block campaign, which has been the main driver of insurgency within the Brooklyn party. Where the money is going to come from, I have no earthly idea. These issues were discussed at the assembly district's committee meeting this week, which this member I spoke to called a shitshow. Not every district has its own committee, but in mine (the 44th) we're having a meeting on the 30th, and I'll be sure to raise hell to our district leaders. At this point, every single district leader will need to watch their back, because more challenges are sure to come. There are already a couple of races for open seats, but none for incumbents. This will need to change. So, if you want to sign up for the Rep Your Block drive, put in your info right here.

uncurable mlady posted:ok i have to know more about this as a bonus, it also mentions how much worse the Kings County party's finances have dropped under Seddio: its reserves went from $505k in 2013 to $32,800 mid-2019. and that was before having a committee meeting at the Ford Amphitheater in Coney Island, which isn't a cheap place to reserve

my favorite Seddio memory was when he shouted "go gently caress yourself" at a district leader several times after a county committee meeting adjourned. hopefully that DL abstained from voting on the rules changes to save face

A primary challenger to my assemblymember!quote:Sam Fein, an Albany County legislator who represents the city’s South End, Historic Pastures and Mansion neighborhoods, said he plans on challenging the Democrat in the 108th district in order to implement his “bold vision for the future.” This district is pretty safely Democratic.

There are a lot of professions where the experienced establishment experts are just going to be almost universally awful, at least in the US. Foreign policy and cops probably #1 and #2 on my list.
