Here's an e-mail we just received from Mayor David Dinkins:
Hello Lucas
Just a few minutes ago, I endorsed Bill Thompson for Mayor of New York City. I'm proud that Bill, our City Comptroller and a New Yorker with such a rich history of public service to this City, is in position to become our next mayor, and I'm looking forward to working with you and your neighbors to help him along that road to City Hall.
During these tough economic times, our City needs Bill Thompson. Now more than ever, we need a mayor who can appreciate just how deeply these tough times are affecting New Yorkers -- our families and our communities as well as our businesses and banking institutions.
Bill Thompson's commitment to creating new jobs, to quality education, to affordable housing, and to supporting small businesses didn't start yesterday. And it is his longstanding commitment to creating opportunities for all New Yorkers that makes him the right person for the job.
I look forward to campaigning with Bill Thompson over the next six months, and I invite you to join me in supporting him as he travels to your neighborhood...on the road to City Hall:
