ROSADO WITHDRAWS FROM CIVIL COURT RACE

It looks like Mary Rosado will be sitting this one out.

While the reports have not been confirmed, we are hearing that Mary will no longer be pursuing the 9th District's Civil Court slot.

Hours ago, Alan Flacks, a political gadfly, circulated this analysis via e-mail:

THE FLACKS REPORT

Mary Rosado, candidate for Civil Court (9th District)  unofficially (from a number of reliable sources) is out of the race today (10th Aug., 2007), leaving Andrea Masley as the un-contested Democratic Party candidate.

Lawyers for candidates Masley and Rosado are purported to be drawing up a stipulation of discontinuance of the State Supreme Court proceeding (before Silbermann, J.S.C.) to validate Rosado's designating petition. [Rosado's petition to invalidate Masley's petition was discontinued this past Wednesday.]

And reportedly a revised Manhattan Borough Office clerk's report -- to be presented to the Commissioners of Elections next Tuesday -- gives Rosado even fewer signatures than before! 

Further, an independent line would require gathering 3,000 valid signatures within roughly a fortnight's time -- difficult.

We were saddened to learn of this development.

Mary would have made an outstanding jurist.

Onward!
