New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio will release his own “contract with America” on May 12, an effort to draw attention to his nationwide effort to resolve income inequality.
De Blasio told MSNBC host Joe Scarborough on Wednesday that he would issue the plan on the steps of the U.S. Capitol. He’ll be joined by elected officials, activists and celebrities. He borrowed the idea from someone he seldom agrees with, former Republican Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, who made a right-wing contract the centerpiece of congressional elections two decades ago.
