Republican mayoral candidate Nicole Malliotakis and Democratic incumbent Bill de Blasio appear to have common ground on at least one issue — a proposed change to state law that would allow the city to streamline the process it uses to design and build projects.
Malliotakis, a state assemblywoman from Staten Island, speaking at a news conference in her home borough Thursday, outlined a series of proposals she said would save the city money and speed up long delayed infrastructure projects. The proposals are included in state legislation she co-sponsored this year, that failed to get approved by the legislature.
Under current law, the design phase and the construction phase of projects are contracted separately, which Malliotakis said had led to widespread delays and cost overruns that she argued could be prevented if contractors collaborated at the inception of a project.
“Current state law mandates a less efficient approach,” Malliotakis said.
To highlight the waste, she held her news conference in front of a proposed new city animal shelter that has yet to be completed five years after officials broke ground on the project. The new shelter was initially slated to cost $3.1 million, but has since increased to $8.2 million, Malliotakis said.

Republicans in Queens keep shooting themselves in the foot picking candidates like Malliotakis to run against BDB. She's not "Electable" They have no one that can win, thus ensuring bdb of a second term. Jeezus find someone viable, willya?
she is also for "Sanctuary Cities" which alot of people have said that know her -
Break the glass ceiling in NY. Elect a "wise Latina"

Why isn't she electable, Anon#1? Seems to me the only thing she's missing is money.
She is unelectable because she was backing Trump I am pretty sure even when there were other Republicans in the field. After Trump's relent on repealing DACA, she's really no more pro-sanctuary cities than he is. There are an estimated 500K+ illegals. It is beyond impractical to try to directly remove them through active search and arrest, even if you knew exactly who they were. Still, she is female, half Cuban half Greek, so if she is smart she will play dirty identity politics.
Republicans in this City are morons just like out current Senate, this is teh best they can do ?
She's a effing LIBERAL same shit as deBlasio, possibly worse because she's smarter, doesn't do drugs and sleep 1/2 the day. She can stay out of jail and cause damage even faster.
Yes shes for sanctuary city's, amnesty and citizenship for 14 million freeloaders and OPEN borders with Mexico AND EUROPE !!
The Greeks in Astoria and Whitestone wishing to bring over ALL their extended relatives in sinking Greece and kitchen staff from Mexico love her
Nikki is this year's Ruth Messinger, a sincere politician with a lot of moxie but not recognizable or familiar, even though she's pretty good with the social media with her photoshop of deutschland De Faustio and the donor clock (still ticking, because he lied). The boxing ad was a bit excessive, although it could have used the REBNY logo on it.
She reminds me of current women serving the nation like Nikki Haley and Tulsi Gabbard (the next secretary of defense or maybe president). I hope she pulls it off or at least lops a big chunk of voter percentage so de Faustio will be slightly less deluded to think he has some kind of "mandate"
She's very cute too. The city and nation needs more lookers in high government positions.
God Save Larry Storch.
She's a effing LIBERAL
and you are stupid.

and you are so stupid that it hurts.
Get treatment for your mental illness.
She's unelectable because she ibacked Trump.
Meanwhile the current mayor is pro Castro, Pro Sandinista, pro Marxist.
Reminds me of my coworker who thought Rudy G was too conservative. A cross dressing, pro abortion, anti gun mayor was too conservative for him.
Gosh you NY'ers are a bunch of rubes!
Bunch of Rube Goldberg's for sure, both the politicians and the voters
People in Texas read this blog and cant believe some of the shit going on in New York.
The 2 guys who host WABCs late night "Red Eye" radio show have been reading this blog for topics, rants and fights with callers. The mayors office has been calling the programming directors to request stop bashing the mayor like a pinata
