Mr. Vallone and his son, City Councilman Peter F. Vallone Jr., announced their support for the mayor while having coffee with him at Mike's Diner in Astoria, Queens. The Vallones had endorsed Gifford Miller, the City Council speaker, in last month's Democratic primary.
The elder Mr. Vallone said that he had worked with three mayors - Rudolph W. Giuliani, David N. Dinkins, and Edward I. Koch - but only Mr. Bloomberg had managed to wrest control of the city's public schools from state leaders in Albany. "Government is a learning experience, and this mayor has learned extremely well," he said. |
