“Quinn has no power over the emergency agencies, nor over any of the mayoral agencies, nor over Con-Edison, the National Guard, nor emergency powers relevant to a major crisis like a hurricane. . . ‘She’s got no executive power,’ a City Hall observer says. ‘She can introduce legislation. On the hurricane, she’s just backing the mayor on everything when she’s supposed to be the person on the other side of City Hall questioning what he does.’…So why was she there in the aftermath of the hurricane? It looked a little bit from here like Bloomberg and Schumer . . . were giving Quinn a cut of the spotlight to help raise her profile in advance of her mayoral run next year.”
