The Portraits on the Mantelpiece
On Friday, after noticing that a portrait of Donald Trump had recently appeared on the mantelpiece in the Council Chamber at City Hall, I published a post announcing its appearance, knowing that many readers don't get to City Hall on a regular basis: "New Face in City Hall."
The post provoked a few comments, a couple of which inspired Tracy Delaney, our city clerk, to contact Gossips to explain how the portraits come to get displayed on the mantel. Here's what she said:
For clarification, this office inherited the task of updating pictures when necessary. We contacted the Governor's Office for a picture of Governor Cuomo and had been referred to the gift shop. Congressman Gibson's picture had been displayed until Congressman Faso took office. We contacted a local office to obtain a picture of President Trump and had been unsuccessful. Most recently a constituent visiting City Hall noticed there was no picture and obtained the displayed picture.

can we pass a new rule for photos in City Hall?: pictures of misogynists and sexual predators, no matter who they are, are not allowed!
ReplyDeleteThis photo of Gibson, was it hidden?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Tracy confirmed it, because I definitely remember it being there.
DeleteOkay, thanks. Sometimes the eyes play tricks; I have no reason to doubt either of you.
DeleteYes because you only let the trouble maker make comments. Other wise you guys don’t like hearing the truth this site sucks
