Bronx Political Chatter

Bronx Political Chatter is a no holds-barred, irreverent look at politics in the Bronx. Bronxites have long lacked an independent forum to express our views about local politics and politicians. Bronx Political Chatter is a place for you to openly express your views, ideas, criticisms and suggestions, and to make our elected officials more accountable for the decisions they make. So this is your turn to be heard.

About Me

Tony Perez Cassino: I am a community activist and politically involved life-long resident of the Bronx (that is if you don't count the first 4 years of my life, which were spent in Bklyn.). In 2010, Mayor Bloomberg appointed me to serve on the Charter Revision Commission that put a two-term limit back on the ballot. I serve as Chair of the Van Cortlandt Park Conservancy and Chaired Bronx Community Board No. 8 (Kingsbridge and Riverdale) for many years. I am a founder of the Northwest Bronx Democratic Alliance, and ran for the NYC Council in 2009 in the 11th Council District (lost to 40-year politico Oliver Koppell). I am an attorney at a law firm where I coordinate our pro bono work. I live in Riverdale with my wife and two kids.
