New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio made a pit pause at WNYC before pushing off to Iowa to campaign for Hillary Clinton."I respect what Bernie's saying," said the Mayor. "But Hillary is in the best position to glean things done."He said her plans to address inequality are strongest and that she can address the problems of Wall Street today.
Shifting absent from national politics, the Mayor took a call from Zach in Bay Ridge, or who asked him to defend his record on homelessness and crime. Mayor de Blasio responded with a few statistics,saying crime is down 5.8 percent since he took office, Bill Bratton has taken over the police force, and 2000 more officers will be on the street in the next year. He assured Zach: "When you look at all of these changes,there's no question we'll continue to glean safer."
