#AskTheMayor: Newark Sues NYC, Rikers Suicide, Cats and Rats


New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio takes calls from listeners and discusses this week in NYC.

On the death of Nicholas Feliciano-- who was trying to kill himself at #RikersIsland while guards looked on--@NYCMayor says the investigation is early, but he does find the case disturbing.

"This is just not accepted,"BdB tells @BrianLehrer, saying there will be "consequences."

@BrianLehrer n.b. Re feral cats for rat problem. Recent Chicago visit found residents there very pleased w neighbors feeding neutered and vaccinated feral cats to control vermin.

Deeply twisted up that @NYCMayor blames Newark for "demonizing the poor" when his administration is relocating homeless people there to keep NYC rich. @BrianLehrer I can't wait until his administration is over.
