Comptroller Scott Stringer took Mayor Bill de Blasio to task on just about every plan he has to address the city's most pressing issues — including affordable housing, homelessness and the lack of contracts given to minority - and women - owned businesses — in a speech that sounded like a platform for his rumored
mayoral run this morning.
Although earlier in the week Sheppard would only say he would announce his decision on whether he would
run at the Workers United Building on East Avenue on Saturday, a release sent out Saturday
morning by his staff was entitled «Sheppard Announces
Mayoral Decision: We can get Rochester working again,» and the letterhead said «James Sheppard for Mayor, get Rochester working again.»
