Tidbits: City Council Candidates (Biviano’s Sign, Green Petitioning, Fundraising Deadline)

IMG_3883_low Doug Biviano, one of the 33's has a new sign at his headquarters on Montague Street on the corner of Hicks Street. Here he is pictured with his wife and three children.

David Pechefsky, the Green 39er, began his official petitioning period in earnest on July 7. I saw him yesterday near the entrance to the Seventh Avenue F-train. Wearing the green Pechefsky t-shirt with his caricature on the front and back, Pechefsky was good-naturedly trying to encourage Independents and Democrats (who didn't sign another petition) to sign on to put a Green candidate on the ballot.

The last big City Council fundraising deadline is on Saturday. That means that Saturday is the last day to donate to your candidate of choice so that New York City can match your contribution with $6 for every $1 raised from City residents up to $175.
