Savino endorses Thompson in mayor’s race
Says he has ‘real plan’ to prepare for next hurricane
Mayoral candidate Bill Thompson has picked up the endorsement of state Sen. Diane Savino. And he might have Superstorm Sandy to thank for it.
Savino (D-Coney Island-Bensonhurst-Staten Island), whose district suffered extensive damage in the Oct. 29 hurricane, and who was flooded out of her Coney Island office by the storm, said she was impressed by a plan Thompson put forth to prepare for the next weather emergency the city faces.
“Bill Thompson has a real plan to prepare New York City for the next emergency – and create good-paying jobs along the way,” Savino said.
