New York City mayor-elect Bill de Blasio’s plans for the city show that he is much more Clintonista than Sandinista

In November, Bill de Blasio won the New York Mayoral election and on January 1st, he will become the first Democrat to fill the position in nearly 20 years. Richard Flanagan takes a close look at de Blasio’s vision for New York, praising his plans to improve police-community relations, implement universal pre-kindergarten for city schools and to settle municipal labor contracts. He also writes that, despite accusations to the contrary, de Blasio is much more of a liberal pragmatist than progressive ideologue.
