Southwest Brooklyn Dem Leaders Want Answers From Borough Chair
June 26, 2008
Does the reformist Brooklyn Democratic Party Leader, Assemblyman Vito Lopez, follow democratic voting principles within his own ranks?
Two Bay Ridge district leaders say “no” and when they asked him why, they got the cold shoulder and later called Lopez’s exclusion of their views “shocking.”
When Lopez was chosen to succeed now-disgraced Clarence Norman, the convicted former assemblyman now doing jail time, he pledged reforms and an open process within the party.
“It is not happening the way Lopez promised. We are not all being heard,” said civic activist and attorney Joanne Seminara of Bay Ridge, 60th Assembly district leader. “No matter how the majority thinks, he does not listen to others whose opinions may differ from his and accept their input.”
