De Blasio logged a 7-hour work month at City Hall

New York Post

Mayor Bill de Blasio spent a mere seven hours — less than one full workday — at City Hall during the month he launched his bid for the White House, records reviewed by The Post show.

Hizzoner showed up at his office on just six occasions in May, taking part in two meetings, four events and five phone calls, one of which was his weekly appearance on WNYC radio, according to entries on his official calendar.

The 11 appointments amounted to a meager one-fifth of the 50 meetings, calls and other events at City Hall on de Blasio’s calendar for May 2018. He had a total 152 city events scheduled for the month.



Not necessarily a bad thing.....

I am sure the other mayors in the race have logged in fewer hours in this year than in previous ones but 7 hours in an entire month is vastly low.

primary today, I would vote for:

...I hope this doesn't violate DU policy about attacking Dems...but de Blasio has always struck me as being a bit of a lightweight. Maybe he can run for Prez on the Silly Party ticket...

Have not checked this year, but I remember in 2008 Obama, Clinton and McCain had the lowest attendance.

(And in 2009, it was Kennedy).

primary today, I would vote for:
