Mayor de Blasio is hoping a federal stimulus package akin to FDR’s New Deal will help curtail crime in the Big Apple, he said Monday.
Speaking to NY1’s Errol Louis, Hizzoner said if Joe Biden is elected president, New Yorkers should expect a stimulus deal that will help get the city “back on its feet” and combat a spike in murders, shootings and burglaries.
“If Joe Biden’s elected president, the most likely time for a major stimulus is February, and I’m thinking along the lines of the New Deal, and he’s obviously talking about emulating FDR,” the mayor said.
“The second we have that New York City’s in a position to address a whole host of issues, avert layoffs, but also to do a lot of positive things,” he added.
The mayor also said a coronavirus vaccine that is expected in a matter of months will help reboot the city’s economy — and drive crime down.
NYC’s troubles boil down to mismanagement at both the city and state levels.

I agree with you about mismanagement, but it’s really about dumbocrat (Mafia) corruption.
By the way, there is no difference between the Mafia and the dumbocrat party.
Mayor De Blah Blah Blah speaks more out of his arse than his mouth. Whats with mayors within a 400 mile radius anyways? NYC, Philly, DC, Baltimore, Salisbury, Berlin and in OC…..good grief.
