The cover story in the latest issue of City Hall features a lengthy piece on our very own Borough President Ruben Diaz, Jr, called “The Gambler,”-homage to Diaz’ sometimes risky political moves, from his running for Assembly at the tender age of 22, to taking on Mayor Bloomberg over the Kingsbridge Armory to his speculated run for Mayor in 2013.
The story, of course, delves into the Kingsbridge Armory battle and the uncertain future of the still-vacant building, which Diaz said lies ultimately in the hands of Bloomberg, his political enemy number one.
“The decision on whether or not something’s going to be developed there is going to come from City Hall,” Diaz told the paper. A final proposal for the Armory will be made this spring or summer, the story says, and then will be at Bloomberg’s disposal.
The article goes on to discuss Diaz Jr.’s relationship with his controversial father, State Sen. Ruben Diaz, Sr., and says that the Rev. could be the BP’s “biggest liability of all” if he does make a run for Mayor.
