Joe Lhota on Stop-and-Frisk, Sandy Response, Mayoral Race
Joseph Lhota, former MTA chairman and chief executive officer, now running for mayor, talks about the mayoral campaign, including stop-and-frisk, emergency preparedness and the environment.
On Sandy response, Lhota says "I wasn't criticizing the mayor directly" but that city could have been better prepared. Cites OEM structure.

MT @tmannwsj: @joelhota4mayor threading interesting line on @citibikenyc - for program but criticizing locations. "That's insensitive."

.@joelhota4mayor: Bloomberg arguing NYPD IG would threaten safety + hamper counter-terrorism was "best speech" he's ever heard a mayor give.

On libertarian line, @joelhota4mayor says "I didn't ask for them to endorse me." Makes clear he won't take nomination and won't be on line.
