Overworked City Council staffers petition for Quinn
ByCheck out this interesting little gem in the Village Voice about how paid New York City Council staffers found time during petitioning season to gather signatures to get Speaker Christine Quinn on the ballot in District 3 for the upcoming election.
But, wait, is that legal? Well, if they are doing it on their own time, yes it is. But I challenge you to find me one intrepid signature fetcher who was able to pull this off after hours: “obtaining 55 signatures for the speaker. She went from 12th Street to 21st Street, and from Bleecker Street to Greenwich Avenue.”
Some long-time New Yorkers will tell you it’s a small town after all. But baby, it ain’t that small.
