Gallagher Fund-Raising, Aiming Local
Councilman Dennis Gallagher is having a fund-raiser next week at Russo’s on the Bay featuring billionaire John Catsimatidis on the finance committee.
So, what is Gallagher running for? He’s term-limited and, he told me, he’s not interested in running for Congress.
“Washington isn’t the type of place where I would want to be an elected official," he told me. "In the city and on the state level you could accomplish a great deal more impact on people’s quality of life. For me, all politcs is local.”
Your speculation is welcome.

Parkside is helping Pinky raise money but he will not run, instead opting to transfer his slush fund monies to whichever crony he picks as his replacement. The rest will be distributed as legal bribes to other politicians when he becomes a lobbyist.
