6:21 PM EDT on March 31, 2008

The Daily Politics is getting the news out pretty quickly too. Here's the roll call:

Maria Baez (chair), Bronx - yes Joseph Addabbo, Queens - no Eric Martin Dilan, Brooklyn - no Lewis Fidler, Brooklyn - no Melissa Mark Viverito, Manhattan - yes Michael McMahon, Staten Island - yes Hiram Monserrate, Queens - yes Joel Rivera, Bronx - yes Larry Seabrook, Bronx - yes
