In Public Service: Eugene pushes council to do more for teens
Dr. Mathieu Eugene is the only medical doctor on the City Council. His status has led to some interesting moments at City Hall. For one thing, council colleagues come up to him all the time with their complaints about minor aches and pains, he said.
“I don’t mind,” he told the Brooklyn Eagle in a recent interview. “I’m happy to help. But I always tell them to go to their doctor.”
