“#De Blasio’s staff can no longer stop him from making a fool of himself<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n Mayor de Blasio plainly thought he was going to show bold, forward-looking leadership last Thursday \u2014 but all he ended up demonstrating is that he no longer has any advisers able (or willing) to stop him from making a fool of himself.<\/p>\n

He used the launch of a city COVID-19 testing lab as the pretext for a rare in-person press conference, where he made a big deal of presenting his \u201cvision\u201d for the city\u2019s recovery from the pandemic and lockdowns.<\/p>\n

Yet he didn\u2019t offer more than a few vague principles \u2014 even though he announced the start of recovery planning months ago, making a big deal of setting up various advisory panels to start thinking things through then.<\/p>\n

Reporters across the spectrum quickly pointed this out \u2014 whereupon Hizzoner fled the podium, leaving journalists lined up with more questions poised.<\/p>\n

His la-de-da \u201cfour core principles\u201d are trivial boilerplate: continue to fight back against the virus, invest in \u201cinnovation to make us a stronger hub for public health research,\u201d create \u201chigh-quality jobs\u201d and focus on underserved communities.<\/p>\n

How about saving the jobs the city\u2019s still losing? Making office workers feel safe returning? Reviving the city\u2019s cultural life?<\/p>\n

This, as he continues to make decisions off the cuff even about something as vital as getting schools reopened. After he made new concessions to the United Federation of Teachers last week without even talking to folks who have to run each school, the principals\u2019 union came out for putting the public-school system in state receivership.<\/p>\n

Either no one remains in de Blasio\u2019s inner circle who can see that he was about to step on a rake, or those with any sense are too busy looking for their next job to bother saving him from himself.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
