Exposition. This evening, a good friend of the historical society. I wanted to take a moment to greet everyone and without further ado, lets welcome him. [applause] good evening, thank you. Hes put on a terrific number of programs here, including some conversations about where i first met him. Its a pleasure to have liz in the book. This is a book about a career based in the strong premise that cities were important and vital to this nation and country and to this world. Ill tell you one story, which lets you know how i felt about him. I was about 25 years old, working in my first week in new york city and i had worked but had already left and lost the primary from there. I was anxious to work for him again. It happened on a very odd day, in an elevator. We were working on the 46th floor of a building inside the burlington house.

I am really opposed to the city bill and compliance. I have asked them about who does the compliant compliance for the hiring for the minority. I have been informed that they dont have anybody that really goes out to check. To see if the contractors are doing more than a good faith effort. I think a good faith effort is a bunch of crap. It is what minority people have been facing all of their lives. I have asked the workforce people for a monitor, to go out and check. Ive asked them to do what we call random audits. Our response to random audits. This city is spending millions of dollars and nobody randomly orders these companies to see if they are actually in compliance. We rely on the contractors to do good faith. I know contractors lie. The contractors lied about their auditing and what the
