Koppell rakes it in, Espada's not-quite-food for petition signatures

Members of the City Council are part-time employees, believe it or not, and they take home $112,500 for their work. Not a bad job if you can get it (and if term limits come back, you just might be able to). Riverdale's own Oliver Koppell, though, was able to more than double his income through outside work, the Gotham Gazette is reporting. Mr. Koppell's day job is as an attorney.

And in other news ...

More questions are popping up about those 10,000 signatures state Sen. Pedro Espada Jr. flourished in front of the Board of Elections last week. The Bronx News Network is reporting political ops urged people to sign for Pedro after events celebrating seniors in Eastchester.

Koppell spends more time on his legal work than serving the people of his district. Trust me, I live here.

Espada: I remember I stopped by one of his distribution and from what I witnessed, the folks with petitions were saying, "hey, would you continue to support Senator Espada?" If they said, "yes" they would sign...some didn't...
