NYC public advocate Jumaane Williams to wed lobbyist with ties to the tabloid he hates

“Corporate banks have been allowed to rob us of the opportunity to protect our communities and families,” Williams said at the time. “The banks on this list have chosen profits over people. Bankrolling our climate crisis, engaging in labor violations, redlining and funding slumlords shouldn’t be standard operating practice — especially when billions of the public’s dollars are in play. They think they can get away with this and that they are not beholden to the people — as a watchdog for the public, as the first elected official to endorse and join Occupy Wall Street, I want them to know that we see what they’re doing, we’ll fight them and we’ll win.”
