Since Mark Smith, public information officer for County Executive Steve Levy, was nice enough to send around this fresh photo of a bill-signing for the county's new plastic bag recycling initiative, we invite blog-posters to (tastefully and charitably) offer captions to help ring out the old year. For the record, these folks are, from left to right: Adrienne Esposito, executive director of the Citizens Campaign for the Environment; Legislator Wayne Horsley, the bill’s author; Levy; Ernie Mattace of union Local 338, and Patricia Broadhagen of Food Industry Alliance of New York. First prize: the satisfaction of being reputed for your wit and wisdom.

As a passionate Alan Ramirez heckles Levy from the audience... Levy crows back ... Hey Ramirez, stop with the wise cracks or I'm stuffing you in here next ...
here is a caption for newsday to finally run with... "release the tapes!" how about you guys and gals finally delve into the Steve levy tape scandal? As for this caption, how about "packing in the plastic"
Oh my, I just found the one with the Ben Zwirn DNA sample!
"Hey, do these bags get declared as an in-kind contribution?"
The League of Women Voters Supports Voter-Verifiable Paper Trails.....But County Executive Steve Levy shows how his new supermarket shopping bag invention can serve two purposes! Levy's law will allow shoppers to vote at the supermarket, writing their selections on one side of the bag and their shopping list on the other. Levy says not only will this law encourage people to vote, it will also help the environment
Horsley......you tell them over at the Leg to stop throwing away my resolutions !!!
Patricia Broadhagen thinks:
Am I going to have to stand here for the Bottle Bill, too?
What tapes? Where can I find out more?
More info to come shortly. However, newsday knows very well about these tapes. Sadly they have done nothing.
Ask why Steve baranello has not been sentenced yet.
Ask what language Steve levy used on the tapes between he and steve baranello.
Inquiring minds want to know....WHAT TAPES NEWSDAY?
That is sure one nappy headed Horsley standing next to me.
OK Romaine, we put in a little more stuffing, move the box across the dtreet, on my signal you jump out, the David Rose music starts, the papers fly all over, you're standing there in your bikini, and then start singing Happy Birthday Elie...got it?
Wayne.......for crying out loud, why the heck did you throw away that pickle!!!
