Dear Leonie,
Hail to you, the People's Queen (not to be confused with Leona, the Queen of Mean). You deserve accolades and bouquets--but we know you'll never stop to take a bow.
You prove that less is more--as in tireless, fearless, relentless--in your fight for quality public school education for all children.You are a compass seeking the truth and courageously speaking it in the corridors of power. Every day you inform us and inspire us to push on.You are a one-person news bureau that all of Tweed's press officers can't touch. You leave no pineapple unturned. You report what you find without fear or favor.Congratulations on the milestone you have just reached--The 4,000th edition of your NYC
