Ex-M.T.A. Chief and Mayoral Candidate Is Unknown to Many Voters, Poll Says(NYT) Joseph J.

Brooklyn councilman calls foe’s poll ‘gutter politics’(CrainsNY)
“What’s your opinion of Steve Levin?”“What’s your opinion of Vito Lopez?”
“Did you know Councilman Levin was Vito Lopez’s chief of staff?”
These were the types of questions residents of Brooklyn’s 33rd
Council District were asked in a recent poll commissioned by Lincoln
Restler, the scrappy Brooklyn reformer expected to run against
Councilman Steve Levin this year. The poll, which was first reported by OrthodoxPundit last week, seems to be an indication that Mr. Restler’s campaign is essentially underway.Mr. Restler confirmed that he paid for the poll. He would not say how
much it cost. His state campaign account doesn’t report any spending on
polling. He has yet to register a campaign account with the city’s
Campaign Finance Board, which some insiders say could prove problematic
because any significant expenditure triggers a requirement to file. “It’s gutter politics,” Mr. Levin said.
[UPDATE, 4:44 p.m.] Mr. Restler responded to Mr. Levin’s comments, as well as the implication that his poll could be in violation of city campaign finance rules. “I am not a candidate for office at this time and I’m simply exploring my options.
