Blackwell Nearly Uses Gold-Glove Pedigree On Tasco

Yesterday, as the Daily News‘ Gar Joseph reports, councilwomen Jannie Blackwell and Marian Tasco almost got into an actual fight on the council floor. Preventing this from happening was my new least favorite councilman, Darrell Clarke, who got inbetween the two.

Joseph explains why the two nearly came to blows — something about a land transfer of a church — but, frankly, the best part of the entire article is this:

Asked how close it got, Blackwell said later, “I’m ready. I’ve been going to the gym at 44th and Chestnut five days a week.”

“I’m from a family of boxers and I can handle myself,” she said. “I’ll do what I have to do.”

Now this is the City Council we know and love. Great to have you guys back.

    omg!! i totally saw her there! i had no idea i was exercising with “the third most powerful person in the city.”

    also, doesn’t that sound suspiciously like a plug for the fit gym? i know when i’m about to clock someone i’m not in any shape to start spouting off street addresses…
