Reminds me and many others of the baseball bat scene in “The Untouchables”.
He is now the same age as his dad was in 1968. Grows more like him by the minute.
Let’s make the transfer tax increase retroactive to 2000 then we can ALL ride that rusty ole el train into the ground.
An increase in the gas tax would have made much more sense.
This vid has been on YouTube for days (along with the infamous beating of a bar employee off – duty cop that was on there for many months as well) should be repeatedly viewed by the IOC when they start to make their final deliberations. Let’s see – a transit system that was held hostage by petty and vain egos, a mayor who acts like the late Vito Marzullo – no thanks. And good riddance – who wants that major boondoggle? We’d be paying off that fiasco during our childten’s lifetimes.
Whoops – meant to say “along with the infamous beating of a bar employee BY an off – duty cop.”
So much for “The City Council is not a rubber stamp”.
Vito Marzullo was an old-style pol who delivered great service to his ward.
His fans – and there were many of them – must cringe to see him placed in the same league as the mayor.
Joe – I was referring specifically to the late Alderman’s public performances in the council, which often were accompanied by severe gesticulating and offensive hand gestures towards those that didn’t agree with him, particulary in the case of Alderman Leon Despres. I also remember Marzullo’s performaces towards Alderman Wilson Frost during the prelude to Bilandic’s confirmation as the Mayoral candidate – disgraceful, even considering the council’s general behaviour back then.
There is a state government scholarship named after Vito Marzullo. I think it’s the one I got in college when I was a Publc Intern at the former Office of Banks and Real Estate (now the DBRE).
Actually, I had the Michael Curry Scholarship… apparently a far less controversial figure.
