“He did not even attempt to do so until the last few days and many of those concerns still remain,” Senate Dem spokesman Mike Murphy said. “We are not against a borrowing plan that makes sense, but remain concerned that the Mayor began asking for $7 billion, then dropped his request to $5 billion, all to close a $1.6 billion gap.”
