"Mr. Menchaca, who cannot run for the City Council again because of term limits, said he hoped to work in a Yang administration should Mr. Yang win." Yeah no shit, this is a naked ambition move, kind of hilarious. But Menchaca is bad and I hope Yang stiffs him if he wins.

It's amazing how much of NY politics is operating openly on the idea that Yang is an empty vessel you can fill with whatever you want. 
Not necessarily a wrong idea, to be clear. Yang is practically hinting that he'd make Kathryn Garcia first deputy mayor and let her run the city. Which wouldn't be the worst possibility, but then the question is, why not just make her mayor?
And that's my struggle with Yang. I can imagine him surrounding himself with good people and running a good administration. But what if he actually does end up listening to Ron Kim and Carlos Menchaca when they tell him not to let anything get built anywhere?
Then of course you have Eric Adams dismissing placard corruption as a "New Paltz crisis," which is ridiculous. Sigh.
