Following a longer-than-expected hiatus, we are back with a brand new edition of the Bronx News Roundup. Let’s get to it. 

More on Bronx State Senator Jeff Klein and the unprecedented power-sharing deal his Independent Caucus struck with Senate Republicans: Bloomberg’s a fan of the deal … Some Dems say the move is a selfish power grab by Klein … GOP leader Dean Skelos says it will be “a good marriage.” … Cuomo laid out a 10-point agenda that, if executed, will lead to his support of the arrangement … liberals and their agenda might get pushed to the margins because of the deal … very cautious optimism on the deal from Newsday‘s Lane Filler … hope and cynicism from Newsday‘s editorial board … The Riverdale Press says Klein now becomes the “fourth man in the room.”

Our question (and we’ll ask Klein this): How will this benefit the Bronx?
