Cardi B was all smiles following her arrest in New York for having two women jumped at a club in Queens.
The rapper was arrested on Monday and charged with two misdemeanors, assault and reckless endangerment, after turning herself into New York police. Her mugshot was taken and she was fingerprinted, ET reported.
The outlet noted that Cardi will appear in court on Oct. 29 for a “Best appearance ticket,” which means she has to appear to pay a fine. There will be no trial or sentencing and her punishment (the fine) does not include any jail time.
Meanwhile, the bartender sisters who claim they were attacked by Cardi and her crew have been banned from working at the Angels Strip Club in Flushing where the brawl went down, their lawyer said Tuesday.
According to Page Six, the siblings, Baddie Gi and Jade, were pouring drinks at the club in on Aug. 29 when the rapper allegedly hurled a hookah pipe and drinking glasses at them because she thought one of them slept with her husband, promiscuous rapper Offset.
Members of Cardi’s crew reportedly attacked the sisters with chairs and bottles, leaving them with injuries.
The siblings, real names are Rachel Wattley, 21, and Sarah Wattley, 23, reported the melee to cops — and now are jobless as a result, their lawyer said.
“They were told they can’t work there because of the complaint they made against Cardi B,” their lawyer, Joe Tacopina, told The Post. “They have text messages [that] say that from the club.”
Cardi B, in the meantime, doesn’t seem to be phased by her legal setback, as she was spotted laughing the night away at dinner following her arrest.
First, she had some retail therapy at Barneys New York and then went for Chinese food hours after turning herself into cops, Page Six reports.
The rapper was seen shopping in a robe and pink fur slides — but later changed into something more appropriate for a dinner date with husband Offset.
“She was wearing an extremely colorful couture skirt that almost resembled a beach towel. She definitely looked super posh,” a source told Page Six.
“She loved dining with her hubby and didn’t seem bothered by the events that transpired earlier. They laughed and giggled the night away,” an insider said.
Tom Pauken: Budget deal gives feds control of $8 million in Texas worker aid - Texas on the Potomac	
Texas on the Potomac welcomes guest commentary from across the political spectrum on issues important to Texans. Today, we feature a column written by Tom Pauken, chairman of the Texas Workforce Commission, the state agency that handles unemployment benefits in the Lone Star State.
Congressional funding cuts enacted through the Continuing Appropriations Act of 2011, which was signed into law April 15 by President Obama, will result in the federal government taking control of approximately $8 million in funding that would have been administered directly by Texas.
The changes will also lead to the creation of a new bureaucracy to oversee some programs currently run at the state level. The new budget affects programs paid for by the Workforce Investment Act (WIA).
This news comes as an abrupt and surprising change to previous policy. We are seeing greater centralization of power in Washington, D.C. at a time when we need to be decentralizing and devolving power to the states, which have a much better understanding of the specific training needs of local communities. Removing this flexibility from the states is exactly the wrong approach.
TWC is charged with overseeing and administering WIA funding and receives allocations from the U.S. Department of Labor which it then passes down to 28 local workforce development boards throughout the state.
The Continuing Appropriations Act will result in a 10 percent reduction in WIA Statewide Activity Funds. These discretionary funds allow for more flexible state spending and pay for programs such as Texas Back to Work, WorkInTexas.com and many other customized workforce development programs.
At a time when states need the most flexibility on how best to address the needs of their unemployed, Washington has made the bad decision to take these local dollars from the states and create a $125 million Department of Labor slush fund.
In February I went to Washington where I met with Obama administration officials and testified before Congress and I urged them to give states greater flexibility in how we spend taxpayer dollars. I told them, ‘I understand that cuts in overall funding may need to be made. Just give the money back to the states instead of to DC bureaucrats.’
The message was well received by all whom I met with at the time but now we’re getting just the opposite response. I am urging President Obama and the Department of Labor to reverse course and let local officials choose where tax dollars will be most effective.
The local service delivery approach is the model on which all state’s workforce services are provided to the public, and is based on the idea that local communities know how to best serve the employment needs of their citizens.
