Some entertainment in Assembly Codes<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“… According to a video of the Codes Committee<\/a> meeting viewed by NY1, things got heated when Committee Chair Jeffrey Dinowitz<\/a> called for a vote on Westchester Democrat Amy Paulin\u2019s<\/a> bill, which requires police officers to take temporary custody of firearms when responding to reports of domestic violence<\/a>. This was not the first time the bill had come before the committee and failed to gather enough votes to pass. Dinowitz, a Bronx Democrat, was challenged on that point by Manhattan Democrat Daniel O\u2019Donnell<\/a> … O\u2019Donnell went on to say that it was unfair to the 149 other members of the House<\/a> who can\u2019t get their bills reconsidered. A short time later, a vote was held and once again, it didn\u2019t have enough support to pass. After the vote, O\u2019Donnell proceeded to walk out of the hearing room. As he passed Queens Assemblymember Carlina Cruz<\/a>, a Democrat who voted in favor of the bill, he audibly whispered to her: \u201cGrow a pair, honey.\u201d<\/strong> Cruz became visibly upset, and immediately responded: \u201cThat was so disrespectful.\u201d<\/strong> A few seconds later, Cruz stood up and declared: \u201cI have something. I don\u2019t care who is in here. I am a woman of color. I am an attorney. And to be spoken to like that, by a man. By a white man. In front of people. It is not ok.\u201d<\/strong> Dinowitz then said: \u201cI didn\u2019t hear what he said. I\u2019m sorry. What did he say?\u201d<\/strong> As Cruz gets up to leave, she turns to Dinowitz and says: \u201cHe told me to grow a pair.\u201d<\/strong> NY1 reached out to O\u2019Donnell and Cruz for comment, but did not immediately hear back …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
