Please see below, the fantastic letter Mr. Tabone wrote to the Forest Hills Ledger. We couldn’t have stated it better ourselves.
Avella's Sonny Carson vote shows he's not fit for mayor
Council Member Tony Avella's defense of his Sonny Carson vote in the name of legislative practice and celebration of diversity further reinforces that Avella cannot and should not be entrusted with higher office.
By Avella's reckoning, if a community in New York wishes to rename a street after Pol Pot or Saddam Hussein or a skinhead, Council representatives are precluded by procedural habit and multiculturalism from standing up for decency and saying no.
Avella's reasoning is that much more spurious in the face of the fact that within his own council district there is a Chabad House dedicated to the memory of murdered rabbinical scholar Yankel Rosenbaum, a man whose death Sonny Carson applauded.
We know Avella is aware of the presence of the Yankel Rosenbaum Community Center because he vehemently opposed its expansion. Avella's defense is rendered all the more peculiar by Sonny Carson's role in demagoguing Korean store owners with intimidation and threats, given the large Korean-American population in Avella's own district and Avella's own caustic battles with area Asian grocers and shopkeepers through the years.
Avella's vote for Sonny Carson cannot be so readily explained away by calls for "celebrat[ing] diversity" and legislative practice, given his own history and obligations to his own constituents.
Avella has been unceasingly vocal when he has felt the need - opposing synagogues, churches, home expansions, zoning, the mayor, city agencies and cell towers. Now we are to believe he is powerless to exercise leadership and say no to permanent celebration of an anti-white, anti-Semitic demagogue when most of his Council colleagues in Queens did have the courage and good sense to vote no?
Indeed, the majority of Democrats, all Republicans and even New York's independent mayor recognized the right thing to do. Not Avella. Avella is pursuing higher office, supposedly mayor. Perhaps he let his ambitions cloud his judgment. He would have better served his case had he just admitted he erred. Voters in Queens want leadership, not excuses for pandering. Voters should remember to vote no on Avella.

Mr. Tabone knows the real Tony Avella like many others who live in Bayside and council district 19. Mr. Avella puts on a good show but there are only a few misguided fools who believe his authenticity. Tony is a political hack, a panderer and a egotistical swine. That's who Bob Holden loves Tony, they were seperated at birth.
This explains alot. Tony Avella spends so much time running his mouth in other districts because everyone in his district hates him!
Tony Avella is a disgrace to public service. He is an opportunists who stop at nothing to further his own political ambitions. He makes Eric gioia look like an intern.
I've actually witnessed an Avella meltdown...he was ranting and raving...turning red and spitting while trying to get his point across (he had no point). It was very disturbing. This guy couldnt lead a group of cub scouts
Avella is depsised by his own community, his colleagues, city agencies and the press. Tony would like yoiu to believe it is becuase he is "maverick" but its just becuase he is a dick
Avella is nothing but a paper tiger who rants about everything but has nothing to show for it. He's a waste of taxpayer $.
Tony Avella is plain and simpe an ass kisser. And of all people whose ass did he kiss? Charles Barron, the black David Duke.
As a Democrat, I'm embarrassed to have those two ass wipes in my party. Both Barron or Avella are the bottom of the barrel.
The only way Avella gets my vote is if he running against the following candidates:
1. Hitler
2. Stalin
3. Charles Manson
4. Satan
5. Dick Cheney
