I don't want to steal the thread, but I'd also be interested to hear on what issues people will be focused on when selecting mayor.
For me, I'll look for support of stop and frisk, how to turn around the mta. Not sure what else to look for, so would love to hear the issues important to others. And lets not say, "oh support of the middle class." Yes, we all get that. And every candidate will say that. But what actions support this?

yea, thats kul
seems like all of em support s&f, even tho some say they wan change it, i have a feeling they might be jus sayin it to win votes tho
what is it about mta that needs to be turned around? jus wonderin
Anyone but Quinn, but I'm voting for DeBlasio. We need a Mayor who will FINALLY take a stand against Carriage Horses, one who will put an end to the senseless mass slaughter of Canada Geese, and someone who will advocate for more Shelter adoptions and less Euthanasia!
He got a restraining order to keep LICH operating.
Lots of plans for real affordable housing.
Closing tax loopholes for the big developers.
Favors mandatory inclusionary zoning rules.
Survey vacant lots and develop them into housing.
Wants to get control of the ability to set the minimum wage
for the city away from the state and tie it to the cost of living.
End the practice of raising water bills to fund the city's
budget and only charge enough to keep the system working.
The one plan I don't like is that he wants to expand the use of surveillance cameras throughout the city. Too big brother for me.
He has been a school board member, a councilman, was regional director of the
Dept of Housing and Urban Development under Cuomo. Was Hillary's campaign manager
when she ran for Senate in 2000.
