Mayor de Blasio’s wife, Chirlane McCray, wants her own office inside City Hall — and to play a hands-on, policy-setting role in her husband’s administration, sources told The Post.
Officials have been scouting space for New York City’s new first lady, who described herself as a “sounding board and partner” to her husband during his campaign and transition to mayor, a source said.
And the administration has been working on a portfolio of issues for McCray to tackle, another source said.
McCray would also like a staff — and her top pick to head it up is Rachel Noerdlinger, a longtime spokeswoman and confidant for the Rev. Al Sharpton, NY1 reported Friday.
You somehow forgot this important aspect of the article:
"The wife of Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Donna Hanover, had office space in Gracie Mansion but focused on charity and social issues and was not involved in setting policy. Hanover had a staff of four — including an administrative manager, press secretary, public-affairs coordinator and chief of staff — at an annual cost to taxpayers of $300,000."
Wonder why you didn't take note of that also Gumshoe?

I quoted the first part of the article and gave the link to the complete story.
Donna Hanover was not involved in policy so there is no comparison.
Funny that you actually believe Ms. Hanover had no say in policy, or that any wives of politicians (or husbands of politicians) have no say in policy. You think it was DeBlasio alone that created the strategy and platform to win the Mayoral race? You think it was President Clinton alone that won the presidency and decided policy with no input from Hillary?
Moderator cut: Personal attackWhy are you attacking the Mayor and his wife?

Reason: Personal argument - not on topic
I posteed a link to a newspaper article in today's paper.
.
In your original post, you tried to insinuate that the mayor's wife is out of line for requesting an office and staff in city hall. How dare she expect to have what other mayoral wives' were given!

And by the way, which other NYC mayoral wives had offices in City Hall? Just curious.
