 6/10 Very Good --- feeds.nydailynews.com http://feeds.nydailynews.com/nydnrss/blogs/dailypolitics
Monday, May 12, 2008 --- 74 days ago http://feeds.nydailynews.com/~r/nydnrss/blogs/dailypolitics/~3/288792569/weprin-
 Councilman David Weprin, one of several 2009 comptroller hopefuls, is throwing himself a birthday fundraiser at the South Street Seaport this Thursday.
Weprin (whose actual birthday was last Friday) managed to corral an impressive group of honorary hosts, including, but not limited to:
The man whose job he's after, Comptroller Bill Thompson; state Comptroller Tom DiNapoli; Gov. David Paterson (who has been shunning political events as of late); the Democratic county chairs of Queens (Weprin's home county); Manhattan, and Richmond; everyone who has held the Council speaker's post; Senate Minority Leader Malcolm Smith; Public Advocate Betsy Gotbaum (maybe a candidate in '09, maybe not); two borough presidents (including Manhattan's Scott Stringer, who's eyeing a run for something - who knows what - in '09); Central Labor Council Executive Director Ed Ott and, of course, his own brother, Assemblyman Mark Weprin.
(It appears the invites were printed prior to April 4, because Dave Pollak is still listed as state Democratic Party co-chair).
The invite makes mention of Weprin's post as the Council Finance chair - a position that has brought him some unwelcome scrutiny amid the Council budget scandal.
As of the last Campaign Finance Board filing , Weprin, who formally kicked off his campaign in January , was among the top fundraisers for declared and potential comptroller candidates with $1.57 million raised.
