Savino throws block party to mark reopening her Sandy-damaged office
State Sen. Diane Savino was standing in the middle of the street, surrounded by children, some of whom were jumping up and down and waving at her. They weren’t lobbying for her vote. They wanted ice cream!
Savino seemed more than happy to oblige the kids. She patiently handed each one a ticket for a free ice cream. After getting their tickets, the kids ran over to the ice cream truck parked nearby.
Savino (D-Coney Island-Bensonhurst-Staten Island) was hosting a block party on June 23 to celebrate the reopening of her district office at 2872 West 15th Street in Coney Island. West 15th Street between Neptune and Mermaid avenues was closed to traffic so that the senator and her constituents could dance, eat ice cream, and enjoy the sunny day.
