Next up in New York’s video interview series with mayoral candidates is Christine Quinn, who faced readers’ questions submitted via comments and Twitter, plus a few of Daily Intelligencer’s signature “21 Questions,” from reporter Chris Smith. (Previously: Bill de Blasio.) The City Council speaker played up her union bona fides, hit de Blasio on his record as a lawmaker, and explained why she stands by extending term limits for Mayor Bloomberg. On the lighter side, Quinn also defended her haircuts as “economic development” and admitted she does not know how to tweet.
Check back throughout the week for more one-on-ones with John Liu, Bill Thompson, and Anthony Weiner.
