Marian Tasco Says What We’ve All Been Thinking

City Council is back in session, which can only mean one thing: Angry comments from politicians.

Marian Tasco, you’re up. How’s the Street administration treatin’ ya?

“I’m not voting for any legislation generated by this administration - because I don’t trust it,” said Councilwoman Marian Tasco.

Hmm, I appreciate the sentiment, but what exactly does she not trust Street on. Is he going to pull the football away at the last minute and send Marian Tasco flying through the air?

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.
