51 Council Members in 52 Weeks: District 15, Oswald Feliz

The Brian Lehrer Show | Apr 20, 2022

The majority of the New York City Council members are new, and are part of a class that is the most diverse and progressive in city history. Over the next year, Brian Lehrer will get to know all 51 members. This week, Councilmember Oswald Feliz, talks about his priorities for District 15, which includes the neighborhoods of Bedford Park, Fordham, Mount Hope, Bathgate, Belmont, East Tremont, West Farms, Van Nest, Allerton and Olinville.

For this series' Show & Tell CM Feliz "brought" a cup that he received from The Bronx Zoo.  

"I represent the 15th Council District ...[which] includes The Bronx Zoo. We have many exotic animals. The zoo includes giraffes, seals. The last time I was there, I saw a tiger and a fox. I brought a cup, a souvenir provided by The Bronx Zoo in my district."
