THE NEW YORK POST (http://bit.ly/1dy3E9d) reports that Seddio, who took over as party head after Vito Lopez was forced out over sexual harassment allegations, has already been tapped by de Blasio to deliver his top choice, Councilwoman Melissa Mark-Viverito, as the next City Council Speaker.
According to sources, Seddio has all but accomplished that already, having reportedly secured enough votes to push Mark-Viverito through in the upcoming January 8 election.
Sources also said Seddio was promised committee chairmanships for fellow Brooklyn pols for securing Mark-Viverito the speakership.
the machine is grinding again.
