SHE IS USELESS AND IS NO HELP TO THE MIDDLE INCOME FAMILIES THAT LIVE IN THE BUSHWICK AREA. I WROTE TO THIS POLITICIAN AND E-MAILED HER AND GOT NO RESPONSE OR REPLY TO MY E-MAIL. WHEN I CONTACTED THE HIGHER UPS THEN SHE FINALLY CALLED WHEREAS I DECIDED TO IGNORE HER BECAUSE SHE INDICATED THAT SHE DID NOT RECEIVE MY LETTERS. SO WHAT HAPPENED TO THE E-MAILS?

Unfortunately she never thought it important enough to attend those debates. Go figure!

I love Bushwick and would love to buy a condo in the neighborhood I've been living in for 5+ years, however, none of the condos that have been built in the last 5 years are even remotely affordable for me, not to mention for all of Reyna's other constituents who have been living in these neighborhoods much longer than I. How about some interviewing of these developers about whether your constituents can afford the average cost of condos, the credit score required, the maintenance, how many affordable housing apts will be in the building, not to mention whether the buildings will blend in or look just plain grey-glass hideous.

At the end of the day, she knows how to do this better that Davila or Esposito. No knock on either of them, but Davila and Esposito have never run a campaign either for themselves or anyone else. Furthermore, she learned from Lopez himself. Reyna works old-school like Lopez. Mr. Short made an error in his piece. In 2005, Reyna did not get Lopez's support but he did not run his own candidate. By that time, there was already a rift, contrary to what people may think. The cause originated from Lopez. Anyone who reads this and has ever seen that side of Lopez will agree with me. He is the master of the cold shoulder. Hummmmm…most likely Reyna. At the end of the day, she knows how to do this better that Davila or Esposito.

What is so impure about "war" among politicians? Nothing at all. No one is clean among us, not even the dozens of popes that have come into this world. Nor are those of us who blog from time to time innocent of tasteless banter. But to say that good strong arguments are incestuous is simply overkill. Study your candidates, make the best choice for your community, family and self is the name of the game. Hey Dresden, incestuous! What is so impure about

He has been "involved" in this scene close to as long as Reyna has been alive. Clean? Maybe. Idealistic, definitely. Bad mustache? RIGHT ON THE MONEY! Reyna/Davila? Dresden, there is NO relationship between the two and/or Lopez. I can assure you that the word "despise" is a word used amongst them. Watch Esposito retire shortly after the primary. That is all.....

I just don't like term limit extensions put in place by policians who are at the end of their term limits (douchebaggedness has few better examples - ahem, Bloomy). Frankly, I don't think a policians third term is very good for them, or the community. They get tired in the third term. There needs to be fresh energy. Also, the feud between Reyna and Davila / Lopez is just too incestuous. Esposito seems the cleanest candidate around. When he has the power, he'll probably get corrupted by it too, but as of yet he seems relatively untainted. He is dirty defacto because he's running - but that's academic. It’s not the stache, Nast.
