Stephanie has pockets where people love her. I believe Grove Street is one of them. Mrs. Burke has her base and one cannot underestimate incumbency AND a solid base. That's why I have concerns that Breanna has to fight harder. Breanna Lungo-Koehn is VERY popular, but that might not be enough when there are a LOT of officials in Mrs. Burke's corner.
it's the reality; being an incumbent has its privileges. When McGlynn wanted to put Stephanie in as his replacement (when he was allegedly booted out by the FBI, where a McGlynn nephew allegedly works) McGlynn filled up all the commissions with people to vote his way. It's sick and an abuse of power. They might have a sliver of the letter of the law, but morally it is just ugly. There are lots of ways Stephanie can wag the dog in her favor, and she is a coward and does it because she fears candidates going on access TV and exposing her. The access situation is a mess thanks to Stephanie Muccini-Burke, and that helps her to potentially hijack another election. But what do i know?
