Aa Sans Save PrintOutgoing U.S. Rep. Dan Goldman of New York on Wednesday
handed over the reins
of the so-called House Bagel Caucus to incoming U.S. Rep. Micah Lasher, keeping the hole-y post in Manhattan hands for another two years.
Goldman, who
lost his seat in a primary landslide
to incoming Rep. Brad Lander, passed the baton of the dough-little gig to Lasher despite their uptown/downtown feud over the best bagel shop.
