DeBlasio's living wage promise has yet to be fulfilled

From the NY Times:

For the new administration, it was a pivotal moment: Mayor Bill de Blasio was standing before the crowd, announcing the first concrete steps of his progressive agenda. By the end of February, he vowed, he would issue an executive order to expand the city’s living wage law.

“We want to ensure that New Yorkers aren’t relegated to the ranks of the poor when putting in a full week’s work,” Mr. de Blasio declared in his State of the City speech.

The mayor was making good on a campaign pledge, promising to broaden the law requiring some city-subsidized businesses to pay their workers a living wage, which is often defined as enough money to cover the cost of basics like food and rent. His supporters eagerly anticipated the move, which was unimaginable under the previous mayor.

They are still waiting. February has come and gone, but there has been no executive order, no expansion of the living wage law and no public discussion about where things stand. Instead, there is silence from City Hall, where the mayor’s aides have declined to explain what has accounted for the delay.

So today I’m climbing on my soapbox to ask: What happened, Mr. Mayor?
