(Washington Post) — In an endorsement of the young first-term mayor’s reelection bid, New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg said Tuesday the District is now “more accountable, more transparent, more effective” under Mayor Adrian M. Fenty.
Bloomberg, who has been Fenty’s unofficial mentor for the past four years, announced his endorsement of Fenty at Carmine’s, a new, cavernous Italian restaurant in Northwest Washington, which has spread from its original location in Manhattan.
His phrasing was strikingly similar to Fenty’s campaign advertising: Fenty has made “tough, smart decisions” and Fenty “gets the job done.”
