thanks for the well wishes for our return. It's still a painful arrival, as I'm still struggling to complete the re-design while inundated at the office with new deals.

But I share your sentiment. Unfortunately you or I couldn't have calculated such a display an apathetic display by a community where nearly 100,000 people call home.

NostrandPark.com, BedStuyBlog.com and MyBrooklynReport.com have to set the mandate for Councilman Al Vann.

He's just been returned to office without a mandate.

I am so frustrated that Griffith lost this race… I'm convinced it's because people voted with the momentum of the Democratic line.

Guess it's four more years with Vann … or more accurately, four more years without him.
