Flanked by his wife and teenage children, de Blasio struck an uncompromisingly progressive note, promising to implement his campaign promise.
“When I said we would take dead aim at the Tale of Two Cities, I meant it,” be Blasio said. “And we will do it. We will succeed as one city.”
De Blasio promised to implement changes so that “New Yorkers see our city not as the exclusive domain of the one percent". One of those promises was to raise taxes.
