From the Daily News:The mayor's office has refused to say where Bloomberg was.
When Vallone asked Deputy Mayor Stephen Goldsmith during the hearing whether First Deputy Mayor Patti Harris was in town, Goldsmith deflected the question. He acknowledged being in Washington.
The mayor's office says Bloomberg and his aides are entitled to privacy and don't have to reveal their whereabouts.
Bloomberg says he's in constant touch with his staff by phone, email and even police radio through his NYPD bodyguards when he travels.
But Vallone, who chairs the Council's public safety committee, says that's not good enough.
He's working on legislation that would force the mayor to file a public notice when he leaves town and designate a chain of command in his absence.
In his letter to Bloomberg yesterday, Vallone asked for details on how the mayor complies with a current city charter requirement to appoint a boss when he leaves the five boroughs.
A Bloomberg spokesman declined to comment on Vallone's request but said the administration plans to respond to the letter.

Hmmmm. I wonder how!
When Koch left town he always announced it and designated one of his Deputy Mayors as acting Mayor. Why is that so difficult?
Legislation should also include the City Council members.
Good boy Pete!! remember to do the same when you become Mayor.

Having lunch with Bloomberg last week in Astoria, and being a big supporter of the mayor in the last election makes me question Peter's integrity on anything relating to the mayor.
After all, the mayor's pro-development stand trumps the public's desire for term limits in Junior's mind. And since his inbred community sends him to office with 80% of the vote as community is growing by double digits as the lights flicker and its smells like a shithouse, infrastructure doesn't appear in their little heads.
Only dollar $ign$ everytime they see a bit of unoccupied lawn.
"Good boy Pete!! remember to do the same when you become Mayor."
Have any of the Vallones ever made it out of Ditmars?
HAVE THE VALLONES EVER MADE IT OUTSIDE OF DITMARS? WHY THEY OPENED UP A LAW OFFICE ON FRANCIS LEWIS BLVD. IN BAYSIDE.
GRANTED IT IS A SHELL CORPORATION AND NEVER OPEN, UNLESS THEY ARE HAVING ONE OF THEIR LATE NITE MEETINGS.
BAYSIDE , HERE WE COME.
Vallone grew balls - bravo, keep them blue.
