New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer has said he will defy Mayor Bill de Blasio's order for city workers to return to working in their offices. The mayor's office did not immediately respond to an inquiry from DailyMail.com after-hours on Friday. The comptroller is an elected office in New York, one that Stringer has long used to launch broadsides at de Blasio in perennial, and unsuccessful, bids for the mayor's office.
