DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM? I AM THE "MAYOR" OF NEW YORK CITY. A MAYOR IS A LEADER OF A CITY. I MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT IMPORTANT THINGS GOING ON IN OUR GREAT CITY. I WORK WITH A GROUP OF PEOPLE CALLED THE CITY COUNCIL TO MAKE THESE DECISIONS. ONE OF THE THINGS I MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT IS THE SCHOOLS, INCLUDING P.S. 113. I ALSO AM IN CHARGE OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, AND THE SANITATION DEPARTMENT.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg is the mayor of New York City only. The person in charge of all of New York State is the governor. Right now, that person is Andrew Cuomo. But the person that is the leader of all of the 50 states in The United States of America is the president. I know that you all know who that is, don't you?
