De Blasio acknowledges that he's going to go right to the wire on deciding if he'll reveal his ballot/endorsement in the mayoral primary
Q1 from caller is about changes to G&T:
De Blasio says "new model" coming for G&T this September, which I think is the first time he's put a date-ish on it? But still absolutely no details.

Q2 is about a devastating Jackson Heights fire, and a new request for aid from tenants displaced.

De Blasio says there's no difference between traditional neighborhood beat cops and the SRG than wearing a helmet -- which is just not accurate.
"Media reports that turned out not to be the whole story," says de Blasio about police reporting in this town.
