  + stars: | 2023-11-10 | by ( Ginia Bellafante | More About Ginia Bellafante | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
But a City Council race on Tuesday managed to bring uncommon suspense. By Wednesday the contest had been called in favor of an X-ray technician who became the first Republican to win public office in the Bronx in nearly 20 years, a place where Democrats outnumber Republicans by more than 10 to 1. With the support of Ms. Velázquez, the plan moved forward to unanimous approval by the City Council. A few days before the vote, they protested outside her office demanding that she be voted out. At one point a billboard truck drove by attacking her as the “Benedict Arnold” of Throgs Neck.

☆ NYC passes bill to make pandemic-era outdoor dining program permanent, with more specific guidelines

CNN —The New York City Council approved a bill Thursday to make the pandemic-era outdoor dining program a permanent part of the city, with some restrictions, according to the Office of New York City Mayor Eric Adams. The city instituted the outdoor dining program in 2020 under the administration of Adams’ predecessor, Bill de Blasio, to assist the struggling restaurant industry during the height of the pandemic. Under the new bill, however, roadway dining structures such as outdoor sheds will need to be removed during the winter. Sidewalk dining will be allowed with a permit all year-round, according to a statement from the city council. People eat dinner in an outdoor sidewalk shed at a restaurant on Bedford Street in Greenwich Village on December 17, 2021 in New York City.

☆ Trump wants back in the casino biz — as Bally's landlord in the Bronx. Many approvals would still be needed.

Under a deal struck in December, Trump would sub-lease 17 acres of his Bronx golf course to Bally's. Bally's bid for a new casino on the city-owned grounds of Trump Golf Links at Ferry Point was first reported on Sunday by the New York Post. Proposals must be approved by a local community advisory committee that includes the governor, the mayor, the local state senator and assembly member, the borough president, and the local city council member. "We are incredibly excited at the prospect of bringing Bally's community-centered approach to gaming and entertainment to the Bronx," a casino spokesperson told Insider. One of those leaders is local city council member Marjorie Velazquez, who applauded the prospect of bringing jobs to her neighborhood.
