Everything hes done to overcome the fact hes a 60-plus white man, it could come undone, a political strategist said of Scott Stringers recent scandal. Stringer said he would reallocate saved cash toward classrooms, including by hiring more teachers and reducing class sizes. State Senator Alessandra Biaggi said that the moment had been incredibly painful but that shed begun to feel that my integrity was being compromised by staying with Mr. Stringer. But this scandal strikes at the heart of Stringers efforts in recent years to redefine his political persona by lending his institutional gravitas to high-wattage lefty primary challenges against establishment candidates. This campaign was always going to be about the people.
Like everything had been destroyed, his initiatives had been seen to not be unchallengedminded and turned into folly, a political party said.
