like him much.

Mr. Squadron did not know, for example, when he spoke at my local group, that his district included public housing projects. His main claimed achievement was working with NYC's Department of Education. No one I've met who has a child in NYC's public schools thinks Mr. Bloomberg and Mr. Klein have done anything but mismanage the schools. When I talked to Mr. Squadron, following a CODA meeting, he was opposed to congestion pricing. I'm in favor of congestion pricing.

Mr. Squadron may be smart, but I don't like the record he's amassed so far, don't agree with the one position I've heard him articulate and do not think he understands vast portions of the district he wants to represent. Mr. Conner articulates progressive positions but has not been forceful as a representative in my view. I'd rather work to improve Mr. Conner than to start over again with Mr Squadron (even though I knew slightly and admired greatly his father, Howard Squadron).
