Interesting factoid about DeBlasio. He and his wife are getting a divorce. He said in an interview, that he wondered if her being a self proclaimed lesbian should have been a warning that they would run into problems with the marriage. Can not make this stuff up.
This is easy. Giuliani cleaned the city up, DeBlasio turned it back into a city run by like minded mayors. Worst thing that happened was ending stop and frisk
