Green Not Supporting Shrewsbury
Filed Thursday, February 22, 2007 at 12:00 PM
Despite appearances on his website, a spokesperson for Comptroller Darlene Green has made it clear that Green has not endorsed Aldermanic President Jim Shrewsbury’s re-election bid.
“Comptroller Green believes both men are fine candidates and looks forward to working with whomever the voters choose to continue moving the city forward,” said spokesman John Farrell.
Green’s photo has been prominently added to the top of Shrewsbury’s website this week.
The Comptroller appeared to side with Shrewsbury in opposing the expansion plan of BJC Hospital, the City’s largest employer, when she joined with him in denying a second to the mayor’s motion to approve the plan at a recent meeting of the powerful Board of Estimate & Apportionment. But now it appears that Green is moving closer to voting in favor of the plan, possibly as soon as Friday.
