Here are our picks for the top stories that affected NYC and our state this year. It's been a very eventful year.
Vito Fossella's DWI Leads to Mistress, Love Child, May 1: It was a small scandal—NYC's lone Republican Representative Vito Fossella was arrested in the Virginia suburbs for drunk driving. Terrible, but excusable enough that Fossella said he wouldn't resign. But then the press became curious about the police report, where Fossella said he ran the red light to take his daughter to the hospital (his wife and children live in Staten Island) and the woman who picked him up from the precinct. Fossella eventually admitted the woman was the mother of his three-year-old daughter. And shortly after, he announced he wouldn't run for re-election. Fossella was convicted of DWI and sentenced to five days in jail, his Congressional seat was won by Democrat Michael McMahon and he headed to civilian life... for now. (Vito Fossella's DWI mugshot)

Every day I give thanks that my wife and kids are healthy and I still have a desk waiting for me. Good luck to you all in 2009!
Thank you for a Year in Review that didn't make me want to barf. Here's to 2009!
You missed the best story of the year... How can you not include the President's near death by shoe? Love him or hate him that had to be one of the top three by my estimate.
