Inner Circle Members Enshrined at City Hall
Stan Brooks is not the only Inner Circle member honored with a formal dedication in and around City Hall.
The tall fir tree in City Hall Park directly across from Room 9 is in memory of Dom Peluso, who was a former assistant U.S. Attorney and veteran political reporter for the Daily News.
The entrance to City Hall off Broadway is named for Steve Flanders, a long-time radio reporter for WCBS 880 News.
Stanâs is the only dedication inside the Hall that can be verified. Â Of course, if the landmark building could talk, it would run down a list of “informal” spots along hallways, at the lobby radiators, and on staircases where IC members would work sources, give out contracts or grab a smoke over the decades.
