Good Gig If You Can Get It
It turns out that the vestigial office of the borough president will receive a raise, too:
Which of the five borough presidents doesn’t deserve a raise in Mayor Bloomberg’s opinion?
The actual answer never left the mayor’s lips yesterday — but he left little doubt that the answer is Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer.
Bloomberg touched off the question game yesterday on his weekly WABC-AM show while commenting on the raises approved by the City Council for all municipal elected officials. The borough presidents are getting a $25,000 hike, bringing their salary to $160,000.
Without mentioning names, Bloomberg said, “You know there’s one that just all he does is rush to the steps of City Hall to hold press conferences — doesn’t really do anything.”
