De Blasio happy to not hold a groundhog this year
The groundhog might see his shadow on Feb. 2 — but he won’t be seeing Mayor Bill de Blasio.
A year after a groundhog slipped from de Blasio’s grasp during the annual Staten Island Zoo Groundhog Day ceremony, the zoo is reportedly making a change to prevent the mayor from handling the animal.
De Blasio, for one, would be happy with the new plan.
