Yesterday, our Councilman Bill de Blasio was still "visiting family" in Iowa! But shoveling snow for Hillary Clinton is more like it.

The New York Observer caught up with him and asked about Mayor Bloomberg's chances as an independent presidential candidate. The article by Azi Paybarah is entitled:
De Blasio Ready To Shovel For Hillary, Doesn't See Room For Bloomberg

Below is one of the reader comments attached to the article: Very telling

perplexedinnyc says:

It is interesting that Council Member De Blasio is among the many New York City Council Members who voted themselves a 25 percent pay increase -on top of their base salaries of $90,000 - for what is supposed to be their part-time City Council job. As Council Member De Blasio and other New York City Council Members have been in Iowa for the past few days and will continue to be there through Wednesday, it might be insightful if the City Council Speaker or the New York City press could ascertain which days they were actually at work at the New York City government jobs for which our taxes are paying them.
