I'm sure he does. But maybe he should love it a little more and, say, submit budgets more demonstrably grounded in reality. The proposal he submitted Friday is based on assumptions about state aid that may or may not hold up and fails to treat adequately the city's hemorrhaging pension system. Cianci's speech put the best face on things. I spoke with Council President John Lombardi, who would be thrust into the mayorship if Cianci had to leave.
Life goes on.
Over the weekend, the new Reubens delicatessen on Hope Street proudly sported a sign announcing that Cianci will be on hand for the grand opening tonight. Sleiman said he's not promoting Cianci, only the store. Count on Cianci to promote Cianci.
