If They All Win, de Blasio & Liu Will Be On Bloomberg's Ass

2009_09_blohl.jpg With Bill de Blasio's and John Liu's runoff victories, the Post reports that City Councilman David Yassky (who lost the Comptroller race Liu) said, "I think if Mayor Bloomberg is re-elected he certainly will have very aggressive watchdogs in Bill de Blasio and John Liu that are going to be ready to challenge him when they feel it's appropriate... I think that it's likely to be a more contentious city government over the next four years." Bloomberg continues to lead Bill Thompson in the polls; a mayoral insider admitted, "It's going to get tougher with Liu and de Blasio."

Har har har, what a joke. All the NYC politicians will continue to be on Bloomie's side, because he will continue to be able to pay them off, whether directly or indirectly.

Maybe they should they wait for the Gay Pride Parade to do that.

gifford miller stood up to the mayor when he was speaker.
and, deBlasio and Liu will too. remember both opposed the extension on term limits.
