I've lived in Astoria for 10 years. When western Queens had a weeklong blackout in the summer of 2006 due to Con Ed incompetence, Gioia held Con Ed's feet to the fire and got them to reimburse residents and local businesses for spoiled food (it was a week of 90-100 degree temps and I didn't have any power for 6 days). Bloomberg didn't even know about the blackout until 2 days into it, and he later praised Con Ed for doing a good job (a ala "heckuva job, Brownie"). Gioia ounds like public advocate material to me.
I admire the way today's candidate tied in the previous show's discussion about family expectations and his desire to become what he truly believed he wanted to be. He seems to be devoted to his current cause considering he shunned his father's advice.
"my sister is married to a latino"? caucasians will never understand why this is offensive. Do not vote for this trickster.
this city slicker is trying to snow us! xD
