De Blasio Pledges New Direction for New York City Bill de Blasio (D), "who transformed himself from a little-known occupant of an obscure office into the fiery voice of New York's disillusionment with a new gilded age, was elected the city's 109th mayor on Tuesday," the New York Times reports. "His overwhelming victory, stretching from the working-class precincts of central Brooklyn to the suburban streets of northern Queens, amounted to a forceful rejection of the hard-nosed, business-minded style of governance that reigned at City Hall for the past two decades and a sharp leftward turn for the nation's largest metropolis." politicalwire.com/archives/2013/11/05/de_blasio_pledges_new_direction_for_new_york_city.html
