Giuliani Sorry He Never Applied For NYC Pension

The New York Post reports:

Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who filed for bankruptcy in the wake of a $148 million civil court ruling and faces a mountain of unpaid legal bills, said he now regrets not having the safety net of a government pension.

Most recent Big Apple mayors pocket pension checks after leaving office, but Giuliani, 79, failed to apply for the benefits, according to city payroll records obtained by the taxpayer watchdog group Empire Center for Public Policy and his official disclosure filings.

When asked why he never applied for a pension, Giuliani told The Post: “Giving back to the city I love. Although I would like to take it now.” He then admitted, “I don’t know how to go about it.”
