Manhattan Beep Stringer To Seek Re-Election

From our colleague Azi Paybarah at PolitickerNY.com: "Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer, who’s been contemplating a 2009 bid for citywide office, will seek re-election to his current post, according to a person with first-hand knowledge of the campaign. A formal announcement is expected sometime later today."

Here's our Sit-Down with Mr. Stringer in January, wherein he discussed his problems with some Bloomberg development initiatives and the taxation of vacant Manhattan sites.
