Some Democratic state senators stood on the steps of City Hall and trashed Michael Bloomberg and Joel Klein for a full 30 minutes over their position on mayoral control of schools. And then things got interesting. One of the senators, Pedro Espada, blew up at reporters who asked him about fund-raising activity that was not listed in his campaign finance records.
Marcia Kramer of CBS2 and Barbara Ross of the Daily News bore the brunt of the criticisms from Espada.(Jimmy Vielkind has been following the issue also.)
As Espada was trashing the “ambush” and “yellow journalism” he said he was a victim of, staffers from City Hall News approached him and asked for him to pose for a photo reading the paper.
