[edit] Life and Career

I just added a little bit about her putative mayoral aspirations and the progressive critique of Quinn. I realize this section could really use some links -- anyone else have them handy?

Do you mean cites/references? A "rumor" certainly needs those to remain in the article (especially as a WP:BLP). AUTiger » talk 15:43, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Opening paragraph rewrite

I rewrote the opening paragraph to make clear an important point: Quinn is THE Speaker of the City Council; whereas the paragraph previously stated she was the "third speaker" . . . implying either the title of "Third Speaker" (which does not exist in NYC), or that she was the third person to hold the office (which is not true). The reference did not make any clear mention of her DISTRICT . . . (which of course is "3," and has no directly bearing on the office of Speaker).Mrjmcneil (talk) 07:37, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
