a stop by mr . feinblatt would undermine what is yet a three - person ballot because he most likely will have the support of the powerful councillor , who is running for a third term . such a maneuver could also rile the sitting district attorney , robert m . morgenthau , because it could hurt the chances of his preferred contender , cyrus j . vance jr . the dialogue between mrs . morgenthau and mr . bloomberg has been tense , in part because of the district attorney ' s probe into the fire at the former hanover bank building , which found that lapses by the city had contributed to the deaths of two firefighters .
Feinblatt works for Bloomberg.
