De Blasio Rift With NYPD Could Cost NYC The Democratic Convention
American Thinker
New York City is going to pay a very high price for electing Bill de Blasio mayor. Maybe the 75% of registered voters who did not turn out will pay attention next election. National Democrats understand what Mayor d does not want to admit. The New York Daily News reports:
The tensions that have erupted between Mayor de Blasio and the city’s police unions are casting a giant shadow over the mayor’s bid to bring the Democratic National Convention to Brooklyn.
Party officials are concerned the bad blood might still be an issue when the convention is held in 2016, stealing the spotlight from the party’s presidential nominee, a top Democrat told the Daily News.
“They’re worried about the optics,” said the source, who is familiar with the Democratic National Committee’s deliberations.
“Will [the police] turn their backs on the mayor? They don’t want side stories. The story should be the convention.”
