When asked if he would support some kind of public financing due to his unfair spending advantage, his response that he earned every dollar he made and some are born in advantages of good family and education. Does this mean that those who aren't born rich, from good families, or superior education need not apply? What about Barack Obama? Look at his humble beginnings. This mayor is out of touch with those who aren't rich. Bill Thompson was right when he said that principals matter and what you stand for matters. New York city is a family. We have rich, middle class, and poor. Your money, family background, and education shouldn't guarantee you leadership role in this city. I was disappointed that no one brought up the mayors violation of term limits after saying that no politician should violate term limits. We need to read the mayors privilege statement to Barack Obama to urge him to endorse Bill Thompson. Predictably Mayor bloomberg was arrogant in his responses.

Troy Fri, 03 Jul 2009 00:09:17 +0000 http://www.workingfamiliesparty.org/?p=2707#comment-67 Thank you to the Working Family Party for providing the people of New York with this opportunity. I felt you did a good job and asked important questions. I am disappointed you did not ask the mayor and Bill Thompson about the conflicts of interests and financial scandals regarding the pension scandals and Christine Quinn -- City Council slushgate. Other wise you did a good job and thank you for the opportunity to hear New Yorkers ask important questions and the candidates answer. It did not change my decision -- I am voting for the Tony Avella because as some of your representatives pointed out tonight -- he is honest.
