Don’t forget to vote tomorrow! It’s an interesting race in Bed-Stuy, for sure. What do you think?

    I for one don’t think Al Vann has been an effective councilperson. He just doesn’t seem to be doing much. He has one of the worst attendance records of any councilman. Also, when you get less than 30% of the vote in a primary, clearly his constituents don’t feel he’s delivering. I’m voting for Mark Winston Griffith and hope he wins.

    Yeah, that poor attendance record bothered me a lot when I found out about it. Our district needs someone who is going to be a galvanizing presence, not someone who is asleep at the wheel.
