Village Voice Coverage of Anniversary Party
From the Village Voice blog: “Pedro Espada Gets Sushi Surprise From Manhattan Young Democrats“: “We are Democrats, but we do not believe that just because someone has a ‘D’ next to their name they deserve our unwavering support!” yelled Harris, her voice booming down the quiet Beechwood Drive where Espada resides in a picturesque two-story dwelling that stands in contrast to the brick apartment buildings dotting his 33rd District. (Though Espada claims he lives in a Bronx cooperative, which Cuomo’s suit says is paid for with a stipend from his Soundview HealthCare Network, the 20 grand in Japanese takeout also outlined in that suit was delivered to his Mamaroneck address.)

State Senate Coup Anniversary Celebration This Saturday – And What You Can Do Even If You Can’t Make It
