Ms. James, the first black woman elected to
citywide office, is a natural candidate for City Hall someday —
though her historically close relationship with de Blasio makes her less likely to challenge him directly in a primary than some of the other candidates bandied about, like Comptroller Scott Stringer or Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr..
Her
office did not provide details on who would qualify for access to the proposed bail fund or precisely how it would be funded,
though it did say a
citywide fund would cost $ 1.4 million in a revolving fund.
