STATEMENT BY MAYOR MICHAEL R. BLOOMBERG ON THE FINAL ISSUE OF THE NEW YORK SUN

"In a City saturated with news coverage and commentary, The Sun shone brightly, though too briefly.  Whether you agreed or disagreed with the Sun's writers, they were smart, thoughtful, provocative - and sometimes even courageous.  What other paper in America urged Dick Cheney to run for President?  The Sun launched the careers of many talented and dedicated journalists, whose stories often raised the bar for their competitors.  I am sorry to see the Sun halt its presses and send my best wishes to all who labored so hard to make it a success, especially Seth Lipsky and Ira Stoll."
