		<description><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://nyoobserver.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/odd-march30-2_0.jpg?w=300&h=225" />"Respectfully, I ask that the appropriate individual within your administration publicly state whether the aforementioned <a href="http://empire.wnyc.org/2011/03/bloomberg-takes-albany-fight-to-mailboxes/">direct mail piece</a> does, in fact, signal a change in administration policy eliminating the threat of closing any fire companies as part of the FY 2012 budget."</p>
<blockquote><p>--Jimmy Oddo, a Republican City Councilman from Staten Island, in <a href="http://www.capitaltonight.com/2011/03/mayor-bloomberg-about-that-mailer/">a letter</a> to Mayor Bloomberg after receiving a direct mail piece from the mayor.</p></blockquote>
<p>[h/t <a href="http://empire.wnyc.org/2011/03/bloomberg-takes-albany-fight-to-mailboxes/">Anna Sale</a> and <a href="http://www.capitaltonight.com/2011/03/mayor-bloomberg-about-that-mailer/">Liz Benjamin</a>]</p>
<p>Update: A spokesman for the mayor says no, the direct mail piece does not signal a change in policies. The spokesman also declined to provide a copy of the direct mail piece the mayor is personally paying to have sent to New Yorkers.</p>
