Joseph Ferris, the winner, received 199 votes, or 71 per cent; Louise Finney received 73 votes, or 29 per cent. The district is currently represented by Republican Vincent Riccio.In a telephone interview, Ms. Finney stated she would run in the primary, despite her failure to secure CBID%u2019s endorsement. Asked for an opinion on the differences between Ferris%u2019s candidacy and her own, Ms. Finney replied, %u201cI think those differences will become obvious in the next few weeks. The primary, of course, is the real contest.%u201dFerris was unavailable for comment, but CBID%u2019s president, John Wocek, believes Ferris received the endorsement because he is considered the stronger candidate and because of his long service to the Club. %u201c It was the best-attended meeting in our history,%u201d said Wocek, %u201c and I think it indicates the determination of this community to unseat Vincent Riccio.%u201dFerris was the Democratic candidate for the same post in 1972, but Wocek believes Riccio's victory in the last election is attributable largely to the Nixon landslide. %u201c Ferris lost by only 800 votes,%u201d he said. %u201cThis time, Riccio%u2019s support for vacancy decontrol, his opposition to tax credits for homeowners with fixed incomes, and his vote in favor of the hot-dog tax are going to work against him.%u201dNominees for Slope Council NamedAt its March 13 meeting, trustees of the Park Slope Civic Council made nominations for the posts of officers and trustees.
