A scary man appears before a gathering of people just wanting to go home. His face and booming voice fills the large room, as he spews terrifying words that fill some with fear.

If the above reminded you of the scene in the Wizard of Oz, when Dorothy and company appear before the Wizard of Oz, you're right.

But it's also a good description of what happened at the Community Board 5 meeting in Brooklyn on 3/24/10. And as the scary man continued to speak, for many of us, only one thing came to mind--a line from that very same movie: "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain. Go - before I lose my temper! The Great and Powerful ---"

Great and Powerful Hack is how the quote should end, because it's time to pull back the curtain on our own Wizard, the man known as Councilman Charles "Chuck" Barron.

Here's what happened: As locals know, Chuckie has been making regular appearances at the CB meetings of late. He does his usual routine:

Word out of East New York today is that Inez Barron is running for the state Assembly (40 AD) in the upcoming primary next September, if the seat becomes vacant. Inez Barron is the wife of NYC councilman Charles Barron (42), and a retired principal of a Bedford Stuyvesant public school. She worked for about thirty years with the NYC Department of Education, and was once the Executive Assistant to the Superintendant of the Brownsville School Board. She was also a teacher in the public education system.

Mrs. Barron- who is a member of the organization “Operation Power”- is also a political activist in her own right-just as much as her husband. She was a member of the House of Lord Church in Brooklyn (Rev. Herbert Daughtry) long before she married Charles, about twenty five years ago. She has played prominent roles in her husband’s many political campaigns, and is an astute political technician. Barack Obama likes to say how smart his wife Michelle is, and that she is the backbone of the family unit; and Bill Clinton always says that Hillary is smarter than he is on many issues; they are both correct. If Charles Barron said that his wife is smarter than he is, well he will probably be correct too; she does have a Master's degree to go with her Bachelor's degree. He has an Associates and a Bachelor's only/lol.
