A meeting of (mayors’) minds
-
- December
- 20
Clinton Young of Mount Vernon and Mary Foster of Peekskill were both invited to lunch today with Michael Bloomberg.
The New York City mayor organized the lunch with 15 of the newly elected mayors in the tri-state region to talk about challenges they all face.
They’re holding a press conference at City Hall right now and they were just talking about Bloomberg’s congestion pricing proposal  charging motorists to drive into the city during business hours.
It’s smart thing to do for this independent mayor who is always blasting political partisanship, and the people who oppose his plans.
And of course, he’s being asked about the presidential race.
He’s trying to influence the race, he said. But will he get in it?
UPDATE: The press conference ended. They were scheduled to tour New York City’s 311 customer service center.
