Bronson Supports Evans for Mayor. Big Deal.

 Last month, State Assemblyman Harry Bronson announced that he was supporting the candidacy of City Councilman Malik Evans for mayor.

Big deal. That was to be expected.

It was Harry's way of sticking it to Lovely, who pulled out all of the stops last year to oppose his re-election campaign, running her then chief-of-staff, Alex Yudelson, against him.

Her actions were unethical, underhanded and downright sneaky but perfectly legal according to some rather peculiar bylaws by which the Democratic committees operate in Monroe County.

Her control of the City committees guaranteed that Yudelson would get the party's endorsement.

What it did not guarantee was that Yudelson would win the Democratic primary, where Harry soundly trounced him and went on to win the general election against his regular Republican opponent, Peterson Vazquez.

Harry and Lovely have been less than cordial political opponents from the get-go, each representing the two dominant, opposing political factions of the Monroe County Democratic Committee.

Harry is a part of the Morelle faction, while Lovely was created by team Gantt.

Despite Harry spouting glittering generalities about the suitability of Evans for becoming mayor, this rhetoric wasn't specific about anything, nor did it really create any noticeable excitement for Evans' candidacy.

Harry is probably counting upon his popularity with his own constituents, most notably the LGBT community, to carry the day for Evans.

Yet Evans, to my knowledge, has never indicated the slightest interest in the LGBT community before.

But that is neither here nor there.

Harry's real reason for supporting Evans was to say "Up yours, Lovely."

Paybacks are a bitch.
