The hotly contested election for Brooklyn surrogate judge reulted in a recount that has determined that Margharita Lopez-Torres, the reform candidate, has won. But the corrupt Brooklyn political machine is still trying to challenge her victory in court. Tomorrow, Monday September 26, 2005 at 1:00pm on the steps of City Hall, political leaders will speak on behalf of Judge Margarita Lopez-Torres. Her victory is based on voting tallies released by the New York City Board of Elections at a press conference on the steps of City Hall but legal challenges by the Norman machine are preventing the victory from being made official. Congressmembers Nydia Velazquez, Major Owens, and Ed Towns, along with Assemblymembers Darryl Towns and Rhoda Jacobs, Councilmembers Yvette Clarke and David Yassky, District Leaders Alan Fleishman, Jacob Gold, Jo Anne Simon, and Ralph Perfetto, will urge that the legal challenges to her election be withdrawn and that she be certified at once as the Democratic Party's nominee. Come show your support for reform politics in Brooklyn. | ||

Start: THE NEW YORK SALON PRESENTS:
The Graduate Center, The City University of New York The New York Salon proudly announces Reflections on the Future, a public debate featuring renowned authors Russell Jacoby, Richard Sennett, and Frank Furedi, and moderated by WNYC's Brian Lehrer. Reflections on the Future will examine the nature of politics at the start of the 21st Century. It seems that the traditional conception of Left and Right means less than ever. This trend was vividly apparent in the 2004 election, when few on either side were excited by their party‚s own platform. Political positions were defined negatively. Liberals were rarely for Kerry so much as against Bush. Conservatives were not so much united behind Bush as they were against liberals. Even the categories "liberal‚" and "conservative‚" seemed increasingly meaningless amidst independent, libertarian, neoconservative, moderate, or simply apathetic voters. | ||

Start: Home Rule Protest Rally Where: Mayor Bloomberg's Town House When: Saturday, October 1 Bloomberg said he favored repeal of the state Urstadt Law and restoration of home rule (city control) powers over rent control and rent stabilization to the City Council and Mayor. But he recently changed his tune: now he says that Albany should control the rent laws that impact 2.5 million households in New York City - one in three New Yorkers lives in a rent-regulated apartment. Bloomberg now thinks it is fine for Joe Bruno and the Republican State Senators from upstate to dictate how much rent and eviction protection we can have. Without restoration of home rule, the city will continue to lose tens of thousands of affordable rent-regulated apartments to decontrol in the coming years. We need a Mayor who will fight for home rule. A Mayor who understands why it is essential to the future health of the city to reverse the phase-out of our rent and eviction protection laws - before it is too late! Join the Coalition for the Homeless, Met Council on Housing, Tenants & Neighbors, and many local organizations for a protest rally at Mayor Bloomberg's town house this coming Saturday, October 1, from 12 noon to 1:30 pm.
