De Blasio Shrugs at Cuomo’s Executive Order, Claiming it Won’t Change City’s Homeless Plan
The Brian Lehrer Show | Jan 4, 2016
Laura Nahmias, who reports on City Hall for POLITICO New York, talks about the executive order Governor Cuomo issued this weekend requiring the homeless to be placed in shelters when the temperatures go below freezing.
Nahmias says the executive order is raising eyebrows at City Hall because, well, the city is already doing all of the things that Cuomo has mandated.
Mayor de Blasio said earlier today that nothing will change; the city will continue to have extended hours so people don't have to leave during the day, and the city's homeless outreach providers will continue to bring people to shelters and mental health facilities.
