Albanese on Bloomberg budget: I can do better!
Bay Ridgeite Sal Albanese, a maverick Democrat hoping to become the city’s next mayor, blasted the man who currently occupies that post, Michael Bloomberg, for his final budget in office. Albanese charged that with this proposed budget, Bloomberg is asking taxpayers to foot the bill for his administration’s poor fiscal management.
Albanese, a former city councilman who recently announced his intention to run in the Democratic Primary, said that both the mayor and a “complicit political class” are responsible for the city’s financial shape.
“You can’t manage a city like a kingdom or its workforce like serfs,” Albanese said.
