    Lhota made his speech Tuesday night to supporters at the Gansevoort Park Hotel in Manhattan. He said he wouldn’t spend a moment regretting what might have been.

    He said the race was a good fight, a fight worth having.

    Lhota was the former chief of the metropolitan area’s transit agency and a deputy mayor under Rudolph Giuliani.

    Bill de Blasio was elected New York City’s first Democratic mayor in two decades Tuesday. He ran on an unabashedly liberal, tax-the-rich platform that contrasted sharply with billionaire Michael Bloomberg’s record during 12 years in office.

    To all those who made sure to be on the winning side .You will regret your choice ,right down to your pocket .When the Governor does not allow the new Mayor to implement his plan to “tax the rich” ,he will do what he doesn’t need the Governor’s permission to do ,and that is ….tax all of New Yorkers across the board .And it won’t be a tax for his programs ,it will rear its ugly head ,in other ways .Fines ,water bills ,ect .You don’t have to agree ,just wait and see .
