Former Gov. George Pataki has bemoaned conditions in New York City, saying progress has been interrupted under the administration of Mayor Bill de Blasio.
The Republican White House contender says he hopes the Democratic mayor “gets his act together.”
Mayoral spokeswoman Karen Hinton says that “with all due respect” to Pataki, his comments are “complete and utter nonsense.”
Pataki said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that “things are getting worse” in the city.
He said there are homeless people “lying all over the place.” Hinton says de Blasio is rectifying “decades of neglect by previous administrations.”
Pataki also says the police “have been told to back off.”
He said there should be a focus on quality of life improvements. Hinton says the city’s quality of life “has never been better.”

Mr. Governor, please don’t confuse poor deBlasio with the facts! He’s confused enough as it is! Someone who’s got chronic morning sickness among other ailments ought not be faulted for his faults! It’s not his fault! He can’t even tell the difference between black and white as is evidenced by his choice of Cherlaine McDumpit!
Does Karen Hinton live in the same NYC I live in?
