A couple of weeks ago (I know, we’re a little late), State Senator Pedro Espada, Jr. angrily responded to protesters in Albany by throwing money at them like a rap star at a strip club. They were there to protest against Espada, who is head of the housing committee, for refusing to move on a host of pro-tenant bills.

The normally cool Espada may be feeling the heat as he enters the final stretch before what could be a very competitive Democratic primary on Sept. 14.
