| Description | Mayor Bloomberg should see his slim victory Tuesday night as a call for change from a worried city, Controller William Thompson told the Daily News.
"It was definitely not a mandate," Thompson said Thursday, referring to Bloomberg's 50.6% win.
"It was the people of New York saying and speaking loudly, 'We want to go in a different direction.' And I think he should pay attention to that."
In his first newspaper interview since his narrow 4.6-point loss, Thompson said his campaign gave voice to New Yorkers who believe the city is going in the wrong direction - and Bloomberg should listen.
Bloomberg claimed after his win that it was a mandate from a majority of voters, and said Thursday that he plans no changes in his approach to governing. |
