I don't think we can go into important local elections next year... with Tony Blair as leader and expect to keep many of the councillors we've got now.

These endless legal challenges that define elections in New York are a joke in this country, and they are the reason why it is so expensive, or one of the reasons, it's so expensive to run here and why so many people decide not to run.


Michael Bloomberg
