News » Bill Thompson Endorsed By The Wave

Posted on October 24, 2009

The Wave Endorses . . . . . . . . .

For Mayor, William C. Thompson. There are eight candidates running for mayor, but only two of them count - Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Comptroller William Thompson. Thompson gets our nod for many reasons, not the least being the fact that Bloomberg got the votes he needed in the City Council to extend term limits by promising council members funding for their pet projects.

He also funded dozens of organizations with both his personal and city money in order to get their endorsement for this election. He has painted a target on the back of every middle class New Yorker for his increased taxes, water rates, summonses, fines and business taxes. He has turned the Department of Education into a testing mill at the expense of real education. It is time for him to go. William Thompson has worked hard for the middle class. He has led the comptroller's office through some difficult times and feels the pain of the middle class. We urge a vote for Thompson.
