Yes, The Oliver Koppell campaign staff messed up. All praise goes to Arthur Heller, Jason Jeramiah, Raffi, John and others in the office, After all, they are working 654 hours a day. Yes, A Costly mistake-in more ways than one
And it gets even stranger. 74 East Gun Hill Road.Right across from Mosholu Montefiore Community center (MMCC) This is the new Second Home of Liberty Democratic Association-The wonderful Pelham Parkway EASTSIDE club of Ken Agosto and Joe McManus. Now they have 2 offices. One in Riverdale-1 in Upper Norwood. BOTH in the 81st Assembly District of Jeffrey Dinowitz and The Ben Franklin Club.
At two conference call meetings, it was decided by Assemblyman Dinowitz and the Koppell staff that "Ben Franklin" will cover Upper Norwood. the Committee of 100 Democrats (With NWB Democrats help) has covered this area for 5 years. At the end of the discussion, Vice Chairman of 100 Democrats said "Good luck Oliver, I hope your still my Councilman'
NWB Democrats and the Committee of 100 Democrats stated at the meeting that we will hold our respective positions in the 80th Assembly and 78th Assembly district in regards to the council district. but like Mr Press, we are disturbed about this fact as well. Upper Norwood represents 20% of the council district. If Ben Franklin has not been in the Norwood 81st in 5 years, this decision could RISK the election of Mr Koppell. as of LAST WEEK, before the "invasion", NBT analysis still has Mr Koppell coming in with a composite 63% of the vote
Mr Anthony Cassino-funny, he gave up on his own West Side Riverdale based Club, North Bronx Democratic Association to work with EAST SIDE LDA. Either Saul and Tony had one hell of a fight or MoneyBags McManus made one hell of a withdrawl. Even the Norwood News, I am sure must be disapointed, after waiting over 4 years of organizational assistance. (click here)
Oliver- He's doing great. he has more energy than most of his own very young staffers. We will have him along Bedford Park & Lower norwood this week. Please post if you would like to join or meet our Council Candidate for The 11th Council District: G. Oliver Koppell
