The 78th (From Fordham To Bedford Park) became veryyyyyyyy interesting this summer!!!!!!
In Fordham-both NWB Democrats & New Life Church established themselves as "New political players" in the areas. Fernando Cabrera & Greg Faulkner continue to show new political realities into the area while The Good Old Jose Rivera Machine is still alive and strong!
In the mist................a wild neighborhood rumor. Upper 78th Assembly Area Club, The Committee of 100 Democrats is holding their Annual electoral meeting on Saturday. Ricky Martinez & Robert Press (we suspect) will be re-elected as Chairman & Vice Chairman and Ricky has made frequent comments about "power sharing in The 78th". When ask for a quote, Ricky says, "I'll tell you this, Im tired of outsiders comig into my neighborhood and the powers at be need to learn how to powershare". WOW-RICK-We have been saying that for 2 Years!!!
Of course, whar might be more interesting is: The Committee, since 2006, has lost over 50% membership, supported (and lost) Former State Senator Efrain Gonzalez, took part in The 2008 Political war, desposing the Former Bronx Democratic Chairman (and 78th State Assemblyman Jose Rivera) and nearby Assemblywoman Naomi Rivera has made no overtures to the Committee since 2006.
Mr Martinez has always suggested to "make friends"!?!.
