Inquiring Photographer: Who would you vote for?

This week we asked readers who they would consider voting for in the upcoming presidential primaries set for April 19 in New York State. I think that Donald Trump would be a fine president. Donald Trump is the right man for the right job. We need Mr. Trump as President of the United States of America. Phillip Daniel Chandler Norwood I wish Hillary Clinton would be president. She will help with the job situation and with Social Security benefits and housing. I think she’s more for the people. I’m praying that Donald Trump doesn’t become president. I don’t

Greetings Loyal Readers! The Norwood News is out with its latest edition, bringing you plenty of Bronx community news you can use. We begin with what was a late-breaking story into our newsroom: developers of the Kingsbridge National Ice Center (KNIC) taking the city to court over its delay of a lease developers say belongs to them. Read what KNIC is alleging in the 35-page complaint filed in Bronx Supreme Court. The development seriously endangers the project, which could force the community, elected officials and the city to start all over. Next, an editorial that shows our cards and respect

[URIS id=20830] Appearing in her first campaign rally in the Bronx, Democratic presidential contender Hillary Clinton blasted Republican presidential frontrunner, Donald Trump, whose eponymous golf course rests in the same borough. “He wants to build walls; I want to build bridges,” said Mrs. Clinton, speaking at a gymnasium-style community center in Co-Op City. It was Mrs. Clinton’s second visit to the Bronx this month, ahead of the April 19 presidential primary in New York. She had surprised the press when her first visit to the borough was an adlibbed tour of the South Bronx. Setting the stage for her rally

There are many reasons that as a Bronx resident, state Assemblyman, and a Puerto Rican, I support Senator Bernie Sanders in New York’s April 19 Democratic presidential primary. Here are just three of them. Bernie Sanders is the only candidate with a record and a plan for comprehensive and humane immigration reform policies. Unlike his opponent, Senator Sanders supports not only maintaining but expanding President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program and the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans to provide broad relief to the parents of DREAMers, of citizens, of legal permanent residents, and other immigrants. Well within the

Despite a gaggle of press following Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton all the way up to the Bronx, most of the borough’s local media were unaware of the stop and had missed it altogether. Video from CNN showed Mrs. Clinton making a stop in front of Yankee Stadium with Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. showing her around. Mrs. Clinton, who has largely been stationed in Brooklyn, took the number 4 subway train to 161st Street for her surprise visit. Secondhand information emailed to the Norwood News had Mrs. Clinton taking a jab at Republican presidential contender Ted Cruz, whose “New York values”

On the same day Republican presidential contender, U.S. Texas Senator Ted Cruz, made a gutsy appearance in the Castle Hill section of the Bronx for a meet and greet, lawmakers from all levels told reporters Democratic presidential hopeful, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, is the right choice. “I don’t have to tell you how she is the most qualified person, hands down, to deal with international issues and deal with our foreign policy,” said Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr., flanked by fellow Democrats. He labeled Clinton’s opponent, U.S. Senator for Vermont Bernie Sanders as inexperienced. “Bernie is not qualified,

Against the backdrop of St. Mary’s Park in the country’s poorest congressional district, Democratic presidential contender Bernie Sanders kicked off his New York campaign tour in the Bronx before New York’s April primary, telling a roaring crowd, “we are going to invest in the South Bronx.” SEE PICTURES: Bernie in the Bronx It was one of a few times Sanders directly mentioned the Bronx, an area largely impoverished with severe health and income disparities. His opponent, former Secretary of State and U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton, made an appearance at the Apollo Theater in Harlem the day before. His appearance marked

How do we demystify the Bronx as being “thuggish”? How do you get more employees from Montefiore Medical Center to spend their hard earned dollars on Jerome Avenue during their lunch hour? How can we attract businesses that aren’t 99 cent stores? For the roughly 90 residents attending the Bedford Park Livable Neighborhoods Program on March 26, these were pertinent questions. The event, sponsored by Bronx Community Board 7’s Long Term Planning and Community Relations Committee, the Municipal Arts Society and New York City Small Business Services, had residents spend several hours learning how to better their neighborhoods. Presenters broke

Attending her first meeting of the 52nd Precinct Community Council in Norwood, newly elected Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark reiterated several new plans and initiatives for the borough to combat crime, while also shedding light into the continued backlog of cases at Bronx criminal courts. During the March 24 meeting at the 52nd Precinct stationhouse on Webster Avenue, Clark, the first female DA in the borough, admitted, “In the Bronx, we have the worst backlog and I’m working through that trying to make the office more effective and efficient.” Clark explained how she intends to restructure the office so one prosecutor takes a case from arraignment to prosecution,
