This is like giving Eli Manning's wife a locker and letting her call some plays.

I'm no fan of race pimps, but Sharpton is nowhere near the level of the KKK. He's a gadfly with a small following. It's OK to knock his staff, much as many knocked As/h/croft, Cheney, Rumsfeld, & Ridge from Pres. Bush's staff.

Well if Eli's wife was the one who coached and played alongside Eli...like DeBlasio's wife did..then yes it makes perfect sense. Equating Sharpton to the KKK is just dumb...Moderator cut: Personal attack

But I'll tell you this, when De Blasio further raises your property taxes and/or water and sewage bill on your apartment rentals in the south Bronx so he can come up with the money to pay the UNION THUGS demanding more money or better yet passes some stupid law to further restrict landlords from evicting tenants or even call for a rent freeze, you'll be singing a different tune. Just watch. You Sobro at of all people, being a landlord and a businessman should know better than to support or defend a progressive socialist such as De Blasio.

He wants to redistribute your wealth that you worked so hard to gain and give it to the unions and destitutes. If you're ok with that, then by all means proceed.

Well what I will do is the same thing that businesses do when the cost of good, cost of service, minimum wage, taxes, or other such expenses increase...I will increase my prices....which to me means increasing rents. This is normal and nothing new.

I support and defend those who I believe are doing the right thing, even if I disagree with them on some issues, or the manner in which they are trying to impact change. He has zero interest in redistributing anything other than trying to provide his residents with better opportunities, better services, and improved QOL. If it means it costs more to have safer water (for example) due to increased regulations, that is not "redistribution", that is not "progressive socialism", that is an effective leader doing what he is supposed to do: protect and serve his the citizens he represents.

And what if Eli's wife was a football coach who spent most of her time trying to teach him to quarterback?

What advice or aid did the new mayor's wife provide him during the campaign? If it was substantial, then maybe she deserves a job in his administration.

We should not begrudge Ms McCray a staff and a budget. Heck, $2 million would not even be enough, considering that she is a national treasure. She will be even greater than Eleanor Roosevelt or Joan of Arc. All New Yorkers should cherish her.
