Continuing his day in New York, Michael Nutter took a tour of Mayor Bloomberg's famous "bullpen."
Daily News reporter Catherine Lucey wasn't allowed into the bullpen, the cubicle-filled room in city hall where Bloomberg works. The New York press aren't allowed in there, either.
But Nutter described the visit afterward. He said he was impressed, but he wouldn't commit to matching it in Philadelphia.
"It's different," Nutter said. "Nearly everybody is right there where you need them. It does seem tremendously efficient."
What he did think was worth borrowing is NYC's emphasis on hiring young people in government work. He said that, in his administration, he hoped "young people would have the opportunity to take part in the rebirth of a great American city."
