Kathryn Garcia lacks the political will to lead NYC: critics

Kathryn Garcia may have experience dealing with trash, but critics fear she just doesn’t have the political chops to clean up Mayor Bill de Blasio’s mess.

“She’s proven to be — in terms of city government — a good manager,” said Sid Davidoff, a longtime political veteran and former aide to Mayor John Lindsay. “The strike that she has is this is a world of politics. You’re going to have a City Council that’s hugely progressive, you got a governor who doesn’t take any prisoners when it comes to the mayor, and she’s never been tested in this arena.”
