AVELLA GETS HIS FIRST CHANCE TO "PULL THE WOOL" at Working Party's Forum


Check out the article in today's Daily News about the Working Party's forum for Mayor Bloomberg, Councilman Tony Avella, and Comptroller Bill Thompson entitled "Mayor Bloomberg Defends Massive Campaign Spending."

Bloomberg protested, "I made every dime that I have," to boos and hisses from the audience. This was Avella's first opportunity to launch a much-needed attack in Bloomberg's presence on the mayor's record and policies, avowing a huge change in City Hall tactics should he be elected mayor.

Avella avowed that Bloomberg allows big developers to trounce neighborhoods without listening to the very people who live there. " . . . it is all about money."

Avella said. "Money should not be moving the system. It should be the people of the city."
