Bill de Blasio

[orangecrush]

Traveled to New York on the 5th, actually saw him close up.

(I won't say when or where for security)

He didn't speak to me, but he was on the phone talking about issues non stop for quite a while.

I have not followed New York City politics, but from reading I gather he got a lot of flack from the NYPD.

I also read the investigation into his campaign finances was dropped.

As an onlooker from a distance, he seems to be a peoples advocate, I believe that was actually a position he held at one time.

It also suprises me he seems to get bashed a lot by the Times and New Yorker magazine, considering how much of an improvement he is over Giuliani.

I would find it interesting to hear some New York City democrats perspective on their Mayor.

Thanks in advance.
