It was mayoral candidate Christine Quinn not Mayor Bloomberg that came to see Staten Island Chuck this year. In the New York Post photo above you can see a bit of fright in Speaker Quinns face as she faces the varmint that one year took a bite out of Mayor Bloomberg's finger. The Post article says that Quinn was the first politician to skittishly embrace SI Chuck
The Post article has Quinn saying when asked where the mayor was "Who Cares I'm here". Quinn is also quoted as saying that Chuck will get to have a pretty good deal today being with her, and what more could he want than to be with a cute redhead early in the morning. The Post continues with the facts that no other mayoral candidate was on hand, the Staten Island Zoo home to SI Chuck relies on City Council funding, and that other attendees were Manhattan Borough President and candidate for City Controller Scott Stringer, and Councilman Dominick Recchia Chair of the Council Finance Committee who is eying a run for congress according to the Post.
