If you live in NYCHA, and you call 311 to report a problem with your elevator, 311 will forward your complaint to...guess who?
Sorry, perhaps I wasn't sufficiently clear about my point. If she releases a report, and isn't good enough at her job to ensure that it's covered by the basic news outlets, she's not doing her job well. I don't remember one single useful/commendable thing she said or did as Public Advocate.

What exactly is the Public Advocate's duties?

What did the past Public Advocates do so well that you feel this current one is not living up to the standards?

This is why I wouldn't vote for her. I had worked for the Board of Elections manning the polls for some years when I got a letter saying that unless I switched my affiliation from "Independent" to one of the two major parties, I could no longer work for the NY BoE. I thought WTF and called the public advocate's office. She said Hmm, that doesn't sound right, took all my info and a copy of the letter and I never heard another word from her again.

To be quite honest, he was the only reason to believe in politics.
Y'all don't think that if he were to be elected AG he would be quite limited to how far he could "clean up Albany" due to party politics? Wouldn't be long before the entrenched in Albany would see him as a problem trying to clean things up as AG. Remember "Preet in the Seat" during those legislative sessions during his US Atty tenure? I think that's what he means by he "doesn't do politics."


I enjoy his current podcast "Stay Tuned"
