Good. It's the least they could do.

Of course. Now, this may all be sincere or this may all be political pandering. Is it reelection time or something? "If it don't make dollars, it don't make sense."

This is the first I've heard about the resolution, but I wouldn't write off Cohen because of his timing.

First of all, he's a genuine liberal, but that's not the issue here. If the issue is his timing, he has always tried to represent the city's significant African-American constituency, albeit in unorthodox and controversial ways.

Yes, he is running for reelection against a strong candidate. However, this type of resolution is not out of character for him, election season or not.
