STATEMENT BY WILLIAM C. THOMPSON, JR. ON JACK NEWFIELD |
| New York City Comptroller William C. Thompson, Jr. today issued the following statement regarding the passing of Jack Newfield:
“Jack Newfield was an accomplished writer and journalist of the highest caliber. But he was so much more. Jack was someone who used the power of the printed word to champion the cause of those who were overlooked. He displayed courage and tenacity in uncovering the problems of city government and corporate greed, and in doing so, helped to make this city the best that it could be.”
