I like how they add the R and N train directions. I wonder if they’ll be running that day

All the trolls on here are ridiculous and inconsiderate. Get over yourselves..Mayor Bill de Blasio has my vote. Pedestrian deaths are at a record low, New York has universal pre-K, Neighborhood parks are being revamped, There are 23 new homeless shelters in the city, More public housing units are available to homeless families, Carrying a small amount of weed will probably result in a ticket, not an arrest, New York police officers are being retrained and starting to use body cameras, NYPD conducts fewer stop-and-frisks, etc. He has done a lot for everyday Astorians and this mayor and his family appeals to many people. Thank you Mayor!

To Refute Charmita:
Bill does not have my vote
New York has universal pre-K – That was Cuomo
Neighborhood parks are being revamped – Construction company was a big donor to the Mayor – will come out soon
23 new homeless shelters in the city – his fault there is so much homeless- Rudy and Bloomy had it under control
weed will probably result in a ticket – Promotes a gateway drug
use body cameras – happened before Mayor Bill of Germany
NYPD conducts fewer stop-and-frisks = Bronx is warzone because of this!
his family appeals to many people – what does that have to with Astoria?
NICOLE for mayor.

No other candidate for this Mayoral election is even close to Bill de Blasio’s popularity with millennials, minorities, families with young children, NYC citizens born on other countries, woman, etc. He has a very diverse following which will help him in the election compared to all the other candidates that no one cares about.

Long odds for de Blasio’s challengers! Only borough in NYC where he might not get the majority vote is Staten Island. Generally speaking, many New Yorker’s view him and most of his work favorable.

Imagine that- they tried doing that to Snowden and Assange for years and look what happened.

Not like bad mouthing diBlasio and Constantinides will make any difference. They act like the MTA nowadays-complain all you want to them, but they’ll turn the other cheek.

Facts, good sir.
