Bloomberg in hiding

From the NY Times:

Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg canceled his weekly radio appearance, scheduled for Friday morning, amid a growing outcry over his handling of a top aide’s arrest over a domestic violence complaint, said a person told of the mayor’s decision.

The move appeared to be an attempt to avoid the public spotlight — and potential questions about why Mr. Bloomberg sought to conceal the arrest of Deputy Mayor Stephen Goldsmith. When Mr. Goldsmith resigned several weeks ago, the mayor’s office said he was leaving to pursue a job in private business.

On Thursday, it was revealed that Mr. Goldsmith had actually stepped down because of the arrest, which stemmed from an altercation with his wife, Margaret, that involved screaming and shoving at their town house in Washington.

A spokesman for the mayor, Marc La Vorgna, declined to comment Friday morning. The radio program on WOR-AM (710), which starts around 8 a.m., generally touches on the major news of the week, but has a breezy tone: its host is not known for posing particularly tough questions to the mayor.

For the second day in a row, Mr. Bloomberg has scheduled no public events where reporters might have an opportunity to ask him questions.


The NY Post excoriated him for hiding the reason for Goldsmith's resignation.

You started out on a high note 10 years ago but your leadership has fizzled recently and your legacy is in question.
