FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PR- 075-09 February 12, 2009 STATEMENT BY MAYOR MICHAEL R. BLOOMBERG ON THE ECONOMIC STIMULUS CONFERENCE REPORT "As I said when I came back from Washington yesterday, I think everyone in New York City should join me in thanking Senator Schumer, Congressman Rangel, and the rest of our Congressional delegation for all their hard work bringing home the help we need so badly - and today's developments have brought even more encouraging news. In any piece of complex legislation, the details of the legislative language matter as much as the numbers, and our legislative and budget staffs look forward to reviewing them as soon as they are available."
