Gerson Picks Up Two Union Endorsements

More news in the First District City Council campaign this afternoon. City Council member Alan Gerson has won the endorsements of two unions: the Uniformed Fire Officers Association and the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association. In a statement, the PBA commended Gerson's "proven track record and commitment to law enforcement." In a separate statement on the Fire Officer's Association endorsement, the campaign said Gerson had "vigorously fought to keep our firehouses open under a climate of budget cuts."
