Shalom2010,
Your second post explains your first comment. Did you think you’ll read Hikind’s unethical and illegal acts on his blog?!

Hikind recently praise City & State: Search Hikind on City & State and you’ll see how he misused public funds. Why do you think there’s bad blood between Hikind and Hynes or Hikind and Giuliani (Google it!).

Why do you think Hikind, in his three decades in Albany, never cared about tuition-paying parents. Let me rephrase that: If Hikind understands the hardships of paying tuition (…) why didn’t he introduce legislation to ease the burden on parents?

Why does Hikind care to funnel funding for Ateret Kohanim (an Israeli organization) instead of Hatzolah (who received a grant from Assemblywoman Weinstein)?

Do you and your children pay for healthcare? Well…

Do you really think that Bill de Blasio or Bill Thompson, of for that matter Ken Thompson, will represent our concerns?

Last I checked, Bill Thompson is suported by UFT, Bill de Blasio “tried cozying up to teachers union” (sic), and Ken Thompson was propelled into the race by those who claim that the orthodox community is “protected because of political connections.”

if I may add, I read Hikind’s blog, and there is no official endorsement. All he’s saying is that both candidates are good friends and that both would be good mayors for the community.

There is 0 proof that Hikind tends to resign now or any time soon.
Why would he start a new radio show if he intends on stepping down? As for the deputy mayor job, I don’t see how Hikind would give up his position as a politician to take on an administrative job.
alos, which allegations of misuse of taxpayer money are you reffering to?

Bill deBlasio is totally unacceptable to serious Orthodox Jews, because he is a far-left “progressive,” who enthusiastically promotes every kind of immorality.

He is also against Bris Milah, not just metzitzah b’peh. All Toevah people are militantly opposed to Bris Milah, as witness their parade in Montreal, with signs demanding the end of Bris Milah.
