Everything you need to know about politicians :
NYtimes on Mayoral hopeful and current city speaker Christine Quinn-
“She began her career as a housing advocate but has moved closer to the business community, many of whose members oppose the bill, arguing that it would cost the city jobs. The legislation would require that employees in city-subsidized projects be paid at least $10 an hour with benefits, or $11.50 an hour without benefits. The state minimum wage is $7.25 an hour.
In a brief question-and-answer session with reporters after the hearing, Ms. Quinn, who as speaker can effectively kill a bill by not bringing it to a vote, did little to tip her hand.”
