Party vs. Gustavo still percolating
January 30, 2014
In a world full of game playing people, goes one of our favorite sayings, God took pity and invented the empty smile.
This segues to our prior column on Bronx Democratic Boss Carl Heastie and his minions being mightily ticked off at west Bronx Senator Gustavo Rivera for his over-the-top support of Melissa Mark-Viverito in the Council Speaker’s race while the party machine backed - and lost with - Manhattan’s Dan Garodnick, only to be fed crumbs by winner Melissa in chairmanships and jobs.
We wrote that Boss Carl was angry enough to talk about backing a candidate against Gustavo, but softened it to thinking about letting Gustavo face reelection without party backing. Carl, of course, was reported furious that it leaked out to your humble ink-stained wretch.
Enter Gustavo, who called us to say he and Carl met and that everything was just hunky dory with them.
